Unexport contributes its help to the environment

It is essential that companies like Unexport are committed to developing processes and products that respect the environment and sustainability.

The social demand, through consumers, clients, Public Administrations, suppliers, and workers themselves, among others, and the demands that companies suffer in the field of the Environment, cause them to be in need of undertaking environmental improvement projects.

Last April 2020 Unexport published the 2019 Progress Report, a document that describes the efforts dedicated to applying the establishment of the ten Principles (in the field of Human Rights, Labor Standards, the Environment and the fight against Corruption) and getting involved with the United Nations Global Compact, in addition to generating actions linked to the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this complete document, published on the web, you can find which areas or aspects of the company are being reviewed, their relationship with the SDGs and what actions have been carried out to link Unexport to the 2030 Agenda. The report is based on the reporting methodology by stakeholders, and one of them, the Environment is the one that we are going to share in this article.

Regarding Unexport’s relationship with the environment, the report focuses on two key aspects: the entity’s consumption and the sustainable use of resources and technologies that respect the environment, both linked to SDG number 12, responsible production and consumption.

The entity’s consumption, for example, starts from the focus of meeting the needs of the organization to satisfy them by contributing to efficient internal consumption, adapting the needs of the organization and building models of responsible consumption / emissions / waste. In this area, Unexport aims to reduce consumables and paper. Furthermore, we can highlight that the greatest achievement has been fulfilling the commitment to acquire a fleet with 50% of hybrid vehicles for the use of personnel. Another important achievement has been environmental has been the implementation of solar panels on the roof of the facilities for the self-consumption of electricity in this 2020.

On the side of the sustainable use of resources and environmentally friendly technologies, the report highlights that development can be classified as sustainable when it is capable of meeting current needs without compromising the resources and possibilities of future generations. On the other hand, the United Nations points out that “information technologies are essential to respond to development challenges”, thanks to the “great potential” of global connectivity to stimulate human development. This topic is directly related to SDG 7, which refers to affordable and clean energy, an aspect that is being reviewed by the company.

And finally, the report also includes knowledge of the environmental impact of the entity. In order for Unexport to know this impact, it has examined the level of incidence that its activities have, beyond the size of the organization, has evaluated the environmental impacts and the level of incidence, in addition to its fight against climate change. This has required the in the company’s operations, as well as the commitment of management, the measurement and evaluation of impacts, the development of processes and products that respect the environment, and dialogue and awareness raising with initiatives that promote sustainability.
