With 74 branches, four office buildings, and more than 4,500 employees, we know that we must monitor our consumption of natural resources and be responsible in their use.

In addition to our initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint under the “Reduce tu Huella” program, we are also measuring our water footprint. In 2020 we installed a water reutilization system in our headquarters, the biggest building in our company and with the largest number of employees.

Water Reutilization System

0
gallons of water saved

This system collects rainwater and water generated by the building’s air conditioning system, which is then stored in special tanks and re-used in gardening and car wash service.

Between 2021 y 2023, we saved 2,298,551 gallons of water.
