ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND EFFICIENCY

We generate a high percentage of the total energy needed to operate, with high energy efficiency standards. Due to the measures implemented in production plants in Chile, we have received, from the Ministry of Energy, the Energy Efficiency Seal, in the Gold category – the highest award- also Silver, in addition to the Clean Energy and Outstanding Energy Efficiency Measure awards. The latter rewards Chilean organizations certified with the ISO 50.001 standard with at least two energy efficiency measures implemented. Santa Fe, Pacífico, Laja, and Sack Kraft stood out for the management of their systems.
