This initiative is part of SODIMAC’s sustainability strategy to protect the planet, adding to the circular economy actions to recover and recycle waste through its National Network of Clean Points and the “Let Nothing Go to Waste” campaigns; the decision to eliminate the use of disposable bags in all stores at the beginning of the year (before the law came into force); the reduction in the use of plastic through the redesign of product containers and packaging; and advances in the use of clean energy with solar panels at its facilities, the use of non-conventional renewable energy (NCRE), the use of renewable energy sources (ERNC) and the use of clean energy sources; the reduction in the use of plastic through the redesign of product containers and packaging; and advances in the use of clean energy with solar panels in its facilities, the use of non-conventional renewable energy (NCRE) and eco-efficiency in its operations.
For this initiative, GHG Protocol methodology will be used to measure the carbon footprint associated with the dispatches that will be made during this Black Days, to be held on October 31 and November 25, 2018. Once the footprint is measured, it will be verified by an independent third party, and the total greenhouse gas emissions will be neutralized with carbon credits from the Lircay project, located in the municipality of San Clemente, Maule Region, which generates energy from the waters of the irrigation canal of the Maule Canal Association.
