The Group’s environmental strategy is supported on an awareness
of the impacts that its activities have on the environment.
Consequ ently, it is always investigating new ways to reduce
that impact through different mitigation plans, an efficient use
of resources, the implementation of new technologies and
sustainable construction.
The way in which projects are viewed has changed as time
goes by. Construction is now according to environmentally
responsible standards. Elements are employed that increase
efficiency in the use of water and energy, in addition to the
utilization of renewable energies (Unconventional Renewable
Energy) and waste recycling.
Many of the Group’s businesses are also making progress in
identifying critical points and finding measures that will reduce
their carbon footprint.
- Consumption totaled 231 KWH/m2 in 2013.
- 3 stores began operation in 2013 according to LEED
standards.
- The first sustainable shopping center was built in Chile
and it now holds Gold LEED certification.
