The Eco-efficiency Plan 2025-2027 of Grupo Cooperativo Cajamar aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and optimize resource consumption, aligning with the Group's sustainability strategy. This plan focuses on the annual reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with a target of a 15% reduction by 2027, using 2023 as the base year.
The plan's areas of work include environmental management, energy efficiency, water consumption, waste management, and sustainable mobility. Regarding energy efficiency, measures such as the installation of automata, the switch to LED lighting, and the improvement of air conditioning systems have been implemented. Additionally, the use of renewable energies has been promoted, with self-consumption projects and solar farms.
In the area of water consumption, efficiency measures have been adopted in offices and workplaces, including the use of low-consumption faucets and the reuse of rainwater and greywater. These actions aim to optimize daily water use and reduce environmental impact in areas with water availability issues.
Waste management is also a priority, with initiatives to reduce the consumption of paper, toner, and other materials, as well as the proper management of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The digitization of documents and the use of recycled paper in all Group offices are encouraged.
Regarding sustainable mobility, the Group has incentivized the renewal of its vehicle fleet towards more eco-efficient models, including hybrid and electric vehicles. Additionally, charging points for electric vehicles have been installed at various Group locations.
Monitoring and commitments to suppliers are fundamental in this plan. Grupo Cooperativo Cajamar has a supplier approval process that ensures they meet the established quality and sustainability requirements. In 2024, 100% of approved suppliers signed their commitment to the Global Compact.
The Group's purchasing declaration responsible includes the evaluation of risks associated with service contracting, applying sustainability criteria in the procurement and supplier management process. A sustainability analysis is carried out on suppliers whose services are categorized as essential, with the aim of preventing and mitigating risks arising from this relationship.
Grupo Cooperativo Cajamar plan includes carbon offsetting through mitigation projects such as reforestation and investment in renewable energies. These actions allow the group to advance towards its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
