Grupo Herdez Disminuye su impacto ambiental

Ciudad de México, a 19 de julio de 2018 -En Grupo Herdez estamos comprometidos con la disminución del impacto ambiental de nuestras operaciones. Todos los años nos enfocamos en optimizar el consumo de agua y energía, así como en la reducción de emisiones y residuos.

En 2017:

  • Reciclamos el 2.7% del agua utilizada en nuestras operaciones, lo suficiente para regar 6.9 hectáreas de cultivo de tomate durante un año.
  • Reciclamos el 73% de los residuos que generamos, lo que equivale a 679,575 bolsas de basura reciclada.
  • Emitimos 277 toneladas de CO2e menos que en 2016, es decir, reducimos el equivalente a las emisiones generadas por 8.2 coches durante 12 años.

Además de continuar mejorando estos indicadores, involucramos a nuestros consumidores en acciones a favor del ambiente, a través de la campaña “Por un mundo más vivo”. En 2017, a través de esta iniciativa, reciclamos latas de aluminio en veinte tiendas Walmart de la Ciudad de México, con las cuáles fabricamos calentadores ambientales que beneficiaron a 80 familias de la comunidad mazahua del Estado de México.

En 2018 ampliaremos la cobertura de esta campaña a otras tiendas de la Ciudad de México, Guadalajara y Monterrey.

Actualmente, incentivamos la reutilización de las latas de los productos Herdez, obsequiando un cintillo de papel semilla de albahaca, hierbabuena, manzanilla o tomillo, para que nuestros consumidores puedan sembrarlas y descubrir vida iniciando su propio huerto.
