On a social level, we are committed to maintaining dialogue with our external stakeholders, contributing to local development in the areas where we operate through practical support and respecting the land rights of communities.
Environment
In terms of the environment, we are committed to continuing to implement sustainable agriculture, with the aim of reconciling food production with environmental protection and sustainability.
We are also committed to reducing our water and energy consumption, recycling our waste and ensuring the sustainability of our production.
