  • Operational Management

    These are actions associated with the environment and continuous improvement in our plants.

  • Community

    Relationship, being a good neighbor and contributing to the community in its economic and educational development.

Sustainable Development Goals

    Water savings due to the implemented closed-cycle recirculation system, which saves 6.9 million m3/year, with a recirculation rate of 750 m3/hour. The water that is replaced is the loss by evaporation and rainwater and treated effluents are reused.

  • Imagen objectivos sostenibles

    Use of energy from renewable sources, natural gas in the rolling process and use of more efficient equipment and supplies. Operational improvements in processes.

  • Imagen objectivos sostenibles

    Waste utilization rate greater than 95%. Since 2018, more than 33,000 tons of iron scale managed for co-processing.

  • Imagen objectivos sostenibles

    Use of materials of recycled origin (billet) for the manufacture of our products. Lower environmental footprint, increased circularity while maintaining quality.

  • Imagen objectivos sostenibles

    Between 2018 and 2021, more than 145,000 tons of scrap have been collected and managed for recycling. With management towards transformation processes, closing the cycle of the circular economy and source of income for 160 scrap suppliers.

  • We feel a high commitment to respect the environment. We have a set of practices aligned to the norm ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, certification in force since 2014. The objective of the system is to guarantee full monitoring of the production process, from the use of raw materials, through the industrial part, to the dispatch of our products and the destination of waste generated in the process. Environmental management adopts the principles of legal compliance and the continuous improvement of our activities, prioritizing respect for the community and our collaborators.

    Our company has managed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the use of sources of renewable energy to 46% photovoltaic and the combustion of natural gas for the rolling process; It has wastewater treatment as internal and external policies to avoid water, soil and air contamination.

  • Water and Air

    The water is a valuable resource, That is why we manage and optimize its use in all our activities to manufacture high-quality products, as part of our responsibility and sustainability with the environment. In our production process we take advantage of 97% rainwater, which is used for equipment cooling.

    We constantly make efforts to reduce the emissions generated in our plants. We improve operational efficiency together with the rational use of materials and fuels. We use natural gas in all reheat furnaces to reduce its impact.

Recycling

Scrap

In order to preserve the environment and reduce material deposits in inappropriate places, we recline annually around 50,000 metric tons of ferrous scrap.

We have a unit dedicated to its management that also allows us to generate employment through the extensive chain of scrap collection and processing.

Most of the scrap we recycle comes from materials that are no longer useful to society, such as white goods such as: stoves, refrigerators, car parts, construction steel remains, waste from production processes, among others. . These materials are reused and transformed into new steel products.
