SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Socially Responsible
Most of our employees are local residents, so our social and economic impact on the communities is very important, as drivers of employment creation and economic development.
We are in close and direct contact with communities, which has allowed us to collaborate closely in the resolution of local problems. An example of this is the reforms carried out at the Torrealta factory, in which the access needs of the irrigation community were taken into account and the construction of a new road was adapted to meet their requests. In addition, the new road involved the improvement of an area including lighting and landscaped areas that help to better integrate the urbanization with the rural environment in which we find ourselves.
