Grupo Nutresa works on the implementation and execution of effective environmental management systems based on the continuous improvement, the prevention and control of pollution, the protection of the environment, the eco-efficiency in its supply chain aiming to preserve biodiversity, and the reduction of the environmental impact of its products throughout their life cycle. The purpose of these actions is to make a positive contribution to maintaining a harmonic relationship between profitable growth and environmental performance where eco-efficiency is one of the main decision making criteria.

Material topics

Circularity

To optimize resource use and minimize waste in the lifecycle of packaging and containers, through design, production, and distribution that promote reduction, reuse, recycling, and compostability, complying with extended producer responsibility and maximizing the utilization of by-products.

Strategic approach:

  • Use of recyclable packaging and containers
  • Eco-design
  • Waste management and post-consumer practices
  • Reusable and compostable
  • Reduction of food loss and waste

Responsible and Productive Sourcing

To foster collaboration with suppliers to integrate responsible practices throughout the value chain, aiming to minimize environmental and social impacts, including human rights, in raw material sourcing, through risk assessment and management, secure access to raw materials, and the promotion of sustainable practices.
