1.3 Objectives

To enhance our environmental performance, we set measurable and achievable goals based on specific indicators that allow us to assess our impact and direct our actions toward greater sustainability. nettaro’s main environmental objectives include:

  • Water consumption optimization: Reduce water consumption per employee by 5% compared to the previous year (m³/employee) through the implementation of more efficient practices and raising staff awareness about rational resource use.
  • Electricity consumption optimization: Decrease electricity consumption per employee by 5% compared to the previous year (kWh/employee) by optimizing operating hours and ensuring efficient use of equipment and facilities.
  • Paper consumption reduction: Reduce paper consumption per employee compared to the previous period by promoting digital processes, double-sided printing, and other measures that encourage a more digital and paperless work environment.
  • Toner consumption optimization: Reduce toner consumption per employee compared to the previous period by managing printing more efficiently and fostering practices that minimize resource use.

These objectives are regularly reviewed and monitored to ensure progress toward our environmental goals. Measuring these indicators enables us to make informed decisions, adjust strategies, and implement new actions to further improve our ecological footprint.

1.4 Environmental Aspects

Within the scope of our Integrated Management System, we identify the environmental aspects of our activities and services that we can control or influence. We use a life cycle perspective to assess associated environmental impacts.

The identification and evaluation of these aspects consider:

  • Changes or new development, whether planned or occurring.
  • New or modified activities and services.
  • Predictable adnormal conditions and emerrgency situations. 

Criteria for determining significant aspects are documented in Procedure PM-01 Environmental Aspects and the R18-B evaluation matrix. All this information is communicated to relevant levels and functions within the organization.

1.5 Environmental Performance

1.5.1 Spillage Control

Currently, our activities do not generate contaminating effluents. We continuosly evaluate potential impacts to ensure compliance with environmental standards. 

1.5.2 Resource Consumption

We have implemented efficiency measures to reduce resource consumption, such as:

  • Electricity: A 46.92% reduction over the last year.
  • Water: Rational use in our facilities, with an average consumption of 0.14 m³ per employee annually.
  • Paper and toner: Continued promotion of paperless processes and responsible printing.

We actively work to minimize resource consumption while considering the organization’s level of activity.

1.5.3 Resource Management

We classify waste generated according to its type and nature. Waste management is carried out exclusively through authorized handlers, ensuring transport and treatment compliance with current regulations.

1.5.4 Assessment of Compliance with Legal Requirements

nettaro, with assistance from a consultancy, has:

  • Determines the legal and other requirements related to its activity and environmental aspects.
  • Determines how these and other requirements apply to the organization.
  • Takes these requirements into account when establishing and maintaining the Integrated Management System.

As indicated by the latest Internal and External Audits of our Integrated Management System. We comply with all legal and regulatory requirements applicable to our activity.

1.5.5 Carbon Footprint Registry

We are proud to announce our registration in the Carbon Footprint, Compensation, and CO₂ Absorption Projects Registry for the years 2022 and 2023. The favorable resolution, obtained on September 10, 2024, reinforces our commitment to responsible environmental management and emission reduction.
