Obremo manages to generate less waste and reduces its CO2 emissions for another year

With more than 850 vehicles circulating daily throughout virtually the entire national territory for the development of activity in the energy and telecommunications sectors, and offices in 13 provinces, the implementation of measures that reduce the negative impact on the environment is a priority for the Quality and Environment department of Obremo.

Each year, this area proposes, promotes and introduces new measures and procedures that favor an increasingly sustainable business model, supported by data that demonstrates the decrease in CO2 emissions each year.₂ and improved energy efficiency.

In the case of fossil fuel consumption, a decrease of more than 3% was observed last year thanks to factors such as the improvement of the fuel used through the incorporation of telematics systems for fleet location and control; the use of advanced technology systems to optimize routes and, therefore, reduce the kilometers traveled; training programs in efficient driving techniques, road safety and eco-driving for employees who travel more than 5.000 kilometers per year; and the progressive replacement of the fleet with efficient vehicles, among other measures.

In terms of efficiency and responsible consumption, an overall reduction is also noticeable, thanks to measures such as awareness campaigns on energy consumption; the installation of systems that promote efficiency in the consumption of light and air conditioning equipment in buildings; and the reorganization of workplaces (offices and warehouses) that has been, and is being, carried out at the logistical level in several autonomous communities where Obremo It has a presence. In total, a decrease of more than 6% has been achieved.

Furthermore, in its commitment to increasing its participation in processes that promote the circular economy, the company has also succeeded in reducing the volume of waste generated by its business activities. In this regard, the measures implemented include: selective separation of materials; reduction of raw material quantities through efficient planning and management; return of containers and packaging to the supplier whenever possible; reuse of excavated soil in civil engineering projects; and a commitment to ongoing training for technical and operational staff.

Awareness campaigns, continuous training and the introduction of measures that promote energy efficiency and a commitment to a circular model are ultimately the sustainable pillars of the development of the activity.
