ENVIRONMENT

Caring for the environment is a strategic factor in CIDEC’s management. We are aware of the responsibility we have to prevent, reduce and mitigate the environmental impact of our activities.

By analyzing the life cycle of our projects and products, we identify environmental impacts from their origin, to reduce or eliminate them through sustainable practices.

We develop Vinanel XXI cables, free of hazardous substances that comply with the RoHS directive and eliminate the use of lead in all products. In addition to the development of lightweight harnesses for automotive use, they contribute to reduce the weight of vehicles to improve fuel economy.

In our operations we have practices to reduce, recycle and reuse the materials of our projects, we adopt measures for the saving and efficient use of water and energy and we include the use of photovoltaic solar energy as a source of clean energy generation. In the same way, we establish permanent awareness campaigns in order to reduce the generation of waste, emissions and wastewater discharges.

CIDEC supports all Grupo Carso operations in the analysis, adoption of good practices and development of profitable – sustainable projects to reduce the environmental impact that, as a result of this management, has managed to reduce the emission of the carbon footprint.
