for the future
It is key to follow an adequate environmental policy, starting from the purchase of raw materials to manufacturing and waste management. As a company committed to the environment and the protection of the natural resources, we share some of the actions carried out that are part of our inner targets.
With our solar power plant, we generate 340,398 kWh of clean energy each year, covering 39.6% of our consumption needs.
We promote reuse of resources and circular economy. All our components are duly recycled once their useful life has been exceeded.
By 2030, we are committed to convert our entire commercial fleet into hybrid and electric vehicles to emit less CO2 and nitrogen oxides.
The powder coating process integrates a purification equipment that allows to eliminate the reagent used. It also permits savings in consumption and avoids discharges into the network, guaranteeing waste control.
Committed to the environment
and the natural resources
COMPARISON 2018-2021
Metalesa has reduced it's carbon footprint by 6% compared to the previous three years.
Our carbon footprint has diminished from 369.74 tons of CO2 during the three-year period 2018-2020 to 348.66 tons of CO2 in the 2019-2021 triennium.
We are currently covering 39.6% of our energy needs thanks to our solar plant.
These targets have been achieved thanks to the continuous efforts of the company aiming at improving the efficiency of our production processes. Note that the reduction in the intensity of emissions in 2018 vs. 2021 has been 16.52%.
TN CO2 EMISSIONSEQUIVALENT 2018-2020
We have been awarded with the "Calculate + Reduce" certificate from the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition thanks to the 6% reduction in the intensity of CO2 emissions generated by our activity compared to the previous three years.
in sustainability
Metalesa considers essential for the continuity of the company the integration of sustainability both in the strategy and the operations of the business. This commitment is reflected in our daily practices, inner environmental policies, purchase of raw materials, manufacturing processes and waste management.
We see the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an opportunity for global improvement, collective innovation and collaboration with our stakeholders throughout the entire value chain.
At METALESA we identify the following priority SDGs for a deeper contribution.
Our strategy comprises our entire value chain, from the extraction of raw materials to the final consumer, and pays special attention to our local environment.
Promote a circular economy system
KEY SDGs: 12, 13, 17
- Promote circularity as part of a new economy, working on waste recovery and renewable sources integration.
- Improve energy and water consumption efficiency.
Work towards mitigation of climate change
KEY SDGs: 3, 13, 17
- Reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
- Analyze the risks of climate change for METALESA and its business.
Contribute to palliate the loss of biodiversity
KEY SDG: 12
- Strengthen responsible innovation in order to offer more sustainable solutions that reduce the consumption of raw materials.
- Develop a more sustainable product portfolio by increasing the amount of recycled materials in our products and their recyclability.
- Collaborate with other companies and organizations of our value chain in sustainable studies and projects.
Environmental Product Declaration is a significant step in our commitment to the environment. This certification allows us to transparently demonstrate the environmental impact of our products throughout their life cycle, from material extraction to manufacture, use and disposal.
Our environmental declarations summarise information on the environmental compatibility and recyclability of our products. They provide an important basis for assessing the sustainability of our metal parapets.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an internationally standardised methodology for assessing the environmental impact associated with all stages of a product cycle.
Metalesa has prepared a complete LCA of its metal parapets based on the ISO 14025 and ISO 15804 standards, taking into account transport to customers' facilities and direct emissions (scope 1) and indirect emissions (scopes 2 and 3).
