Sustainability

At Exel Fil, 98% of the materials we use in the production process is recycled and 100% of waste, such as pallets, calamine, cardboard, plastics generated by our production process, is recyclable.

In 2023 we will be certified in the following standards:

ISO 14001 Environmental Management System

ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety

ISO 14064 Carbon Footprint

Management System

ISO 50001 Energy Management System

 

In all our production processes we carry out continuous audits and reviews to reduce energy and gas consumption. Today we have a use of 15% and we have set ourselves the goal of reaching 19% during the year 2023.

In addition, our facilities and processes are being adapted to ensure maximum reuse and recovery of waste, improving our energy efficiency by 5% and reducing water consumption in wire drawing plants by 80%, thanks to the new bright steel plant that started production in November 2022.

Currently, 42% of our loads are carried by intermodal land transport, thus reducing delivery times and helping to reduce our carbon footprint.

One of our objectives for 2023 is to contribute to reforestation through maximum biodiversity and high ecological value. For this reason, our goal is to plant 100 trees per year for every 50,000 tons sold annually. For every hectare planted, we will capture around 200 tons of CO2, produce oxygen and impact soil fertility.

We fight climate change

We have implemented a reforestation project with maximum biodiversity and high ecological value with the objective of planting 200 trees per year for every 50,000 tons sold in order to help reduce our environmental impact.

Exel Fil contributes to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our commitment contributes to the Goals set out in the 2030 Agenda.

On 25 September 2015, world leaders adopted a set of global goals to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years.
