Sustainability
At Altinco, sustainability goes beyond products. It guides our business policy.
A collaborative journey for a better future
Since our founding, Altinco has embraced a sustainability policy that has shaped the company’s actions. Respect for the environment and awareness of its impact on society and the local community have guided many of the initiatives we have undertaken, such as collaborations with local organizations and support for foundations that contribute to environmental preservation and disadvantaged groups.
All actions at Altinco that may have an environmental effect are documented and audited annually according to EMAS and ISO 14.001 standards. You can review them by downloading the Environmental Declaration we publish each year.
As care for the environment is essential to our process, we have a dedicated sustainability
department that establishes clear and consistent guidelines.
Our environmental indicators are key pillars of our commitment to sustainability.
Here are the areas we quantify:
We are committed to renewable energy
100% of the energy we consume comes from renewable sources and is supplied by providers certified by the National Commission on Markets and Competition.
