Sustainability at Secil

We are committed to following international trends and guidelines in the area of sustainability, always seeking to make our performance compatible with environmental respect and responsible citizenship.
We create value with sustainability

Climate change is a reality, and the Secil Group is aware of its role in responding to this major global challenge. The reduction in the carbon intensity of production, the circular economy and the protection of biodiversity are just some of the international objectives that we accept and whose solutions we have begun to implement in the countries where we operate.

 

These challenges, combined with the close relationship with communities, our stakeholders and institutional institutions and partners, strengthen our intention and are the basis of our Sustainability Policy and the priority areas that we have outlined for our actions.
