It is widely recognised that climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today, and there is an urgent need to adapt strategies and measures to mitigate the short-term impacts on business, the environment and society in general.

Objective

Reducing the environmental impact of operations by adopting renewable, accessible and efficient solutions is the aim of the Sustainable by nature for Climate Change programme.

This objective, based on the strategic pillar Promoting the environmental characteristics of cork oak products and forests, is aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, specifically with SDGs: No. 7 - Affordable and clean energy; No. 11 - Sustainable cities and communities; and No. 13 - Climate action.

The Programme defines qualitative targets for 2030, applicable to the entire sustainability perimeter:

  • Increase the use of renewable energy;
  • Improve energy efficiency;
  • Reduce negative environmental impact.

Increasing efficiency in water use.

Over the course of its life, the cork oak tree becomes a huge storehouse of CO2, consequently, an ally in mitigating climate change.
