- Solar panels: 727 units.
- Covered area: 3,000 square meters (32,300 square feet).
- This project optimizes operating costs and positions FEPCO as a leader in sustainable practices within the industry.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Corporate Social Responsibility Committee
Our company has a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee, which is responsible for gathering the information needed to prepare the Sustainability Report, which details the company’s best social, environmental, and economic practices. Minutes are also kept of the meetings, recording the ideas and proposals aimed at continuously improving our CSR practices.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
FEPCO has prioritized five (5) of the seventeen (17) Sustainable Development Goals, defined by the United Nations General Assembly, considered to be of greatest relevance to our practices.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORTS
ENVIRONMENT
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Through our potable water efficiency program, we promote responsible consumption by installing and improving water supply systems in sinks, handwashing stations, and restrooms. In our production operations, an optimized internal equipment maintenance program has allowed us to reduce water consumption by 229 m³ (228,667 liters) annually, reaffirming our commitment to environmental management at the national level.
Regarding non-hazardous waste, 30 tons were generated last year, 75% of which consisted of recyclable materials. Thanks to our internal environmental management, this waste was diverted from the Doña Juana landfill and reintegrated into production processes through recycling centers, thus supporting the work of waste pickers in the city.
As part of our commitment to environmental sustainability and future generations, we promoted programs throughout the year focused on the efficient use of natural resources. These included initiatives for the responsible management of drinking water, electricity, and raw materials necessary for our operations, achieving significant reductions in consumption and greater optimization of their use.
Through our potable water efficiency program, we promote responsible consumption in everyday activities by installing and improving water supply systems in sinks, washbasins, and restrooms. In our production operations, thanks to an optimal internal equipment maintenance program, we achieved a reduction of 229 m³ (228,667 liters) annually, reaffirming our commitment to environmental management at the national level.
With our energy efficiency program, we mitigated the impact of the 87% increase in production and the implementation of new activities, such as the coating of parts and accessories with C-PLATE welding. We implemented technological improvements—such as more efficient equipment and light-based presence sensors—as well as engineering controls, which allowed energy consumption to increase by only 23%, reaching 6,245 MWh, compared to the 4,786 MWh recorded in 2016.
