EFY assesses environmental performance by:

  • Legal assessment, where we review compliance with legal requirements associated with our organisation.
  • Operational Control Plan of legal requirements, which is monitored periodically and the resulting data is evaluated.
  • Analysis of future trends, both in the internal development of new processes, as well as in the analysis of legislative trends.
  • Study and processing of all environmental data obtained during the year 2023.

Based on the results of this assessment, IMEFY’s Management prepares a Strategic Action Plan which it develops:

  • Objectives associated with risks.
  • Objectives associated with prevention.
  • Objectives associated with opportunities for improvement.
  • Objectives associated with growth.

IMEFY has developed an operational system for detecting risks and opportunities in order to manage them and to control and monitor them.

As a result of this methodology, IMEFY has certified and verified its Environmental Management Systems in accordance with UNE-EN-ISO 14001 and its Carbon Footprint Calculation in accordance with ISO 14064-1. This ensures compliance in aspects related to:

  • Hazardous and non-hazardous waste management.
  • Optimisation of natural resource consumption.
  • Control of energy consumption.
  • Control of emissions (Carbon Footprint).

Considering all of the above, we evaluate the Organisation’s environmental performance in 2023 as follows:

  • A reduction in the generation of hazardous waste has been achieved in 2023 compared to the average figure obtained in 2020 and 2021 by a percentage of 15.24% overall.
  • A reduction in the generation of non-hazardous waste has been achieved in 2023 compared to the average data obtained in 2020 and 2021 by a percentage of 15.01% overall.
  • The verified emissions in 2023, corresponding to the year 2022, are as follows:
SCOPE 1: 1291.73 T CO2eq
SCOPE 2: 0 T CO2eq
SCOPE 3: 136.23 T CO2eq
TOTAL CARBON FOOTPRINT: 1427.96 T CO2eq
  • Environmental actions carried out in 2023:
    • Acquisition of 100% renewable electricity with guaranteed origin and endorsed by CNMC.
    • Programmed and progressive changeover of lighting to LED lamps.
    • Carrying out an Energy Audit of the organisation.
    • Programmed and progressive changeover for technological improvement of equipment; encapsulation tunnel in 2023.

For the year 2024 and, assessing the environmental performance of 2023, IMEFY considers acquiring the following commitments:

  • To reduce CO2eq emissions by 2% in 2024 compared to 2023.
  • Reduce waste generation by 5% globally by 2024 compared to 2023.
  • Continue to ensure the purchase of 100% renewable electricity with a guarantee of origin.
  • Implement energy optimisation measures in accordance with the proposals made in the Energy Audit carried out in 2023.
