Specific ESG
See below some of the actions that Laborsan Agro is already taking:
Effluent Treatment Plant (ETE):
Laborsan Agro has its own industrial effluent treatment plant, complying with all the legal requirements applicable to the operation and ensuring proper and environmentally responsible disposal.
Disposal of industrial waste:
Laborsan Agro is constantly striving to reduce waste. However, the waste generated is treated through the process of blending for co-processing, a technology that converts industrial waste into fuel or raw material, which can be used by cement factories throughout the country.
Environmental practices:
All the waste generated by Laborsan Agro is monitored. To this end, Laborsan Agro has selective collections strategically positioned throughout the company to ensure that the waste generated is disposed of and disposed of correctly.
Training:
Laborsan Agro employees receive regular training in environmental education and quality management, with the aim of ensuring knowledge and understanding of climate change and its implications.
Monitoring Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions:
In 2024, Laborsan Agro carried out the first Greenhouse Gas survey (base year 2023) - Scope 1 and 2, using the methods and tools provided by the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program.
Starting with this first survey, Laborsan Agro aims to carry out complete inventories every year, in order to use them as a tool for its GHG management, through a historical and evolutionary record of its emissions.
Safety of all employees:
Laborsan Agro has an Internal Accident Prevention Committee (CIPA), made up of members who ensure the safety of all employees. They hold weekly Safety Dialogues to discuss relevant issues related to health and safety in the workplace.
Gender equality and female empowerment:
We promote gender diversity at all levels of the organization, from hiring to decision-making, creating an inclusive and welcoming environment, while also implementing transparent and fair pay policies, with impartial and merit-based evaluations, so that women and men receive the same pay for work of equal value.
Code of ethics:
Laborsan Agro has adopted a Code of Ethics that guides the conduct of its employees, promoting values such as integrity, respect and responsibility. This document establishes clear standards of behavior, reinforcing the company's commitment to ethics, transparency and the well-being of all those involved in its operations.
Participation in fairs and events:
Laborsan Agro supported the first National ESG Congress, one of the largest ESG events in Latin America, which was attended by more than 500 people.
