Decarbonizing Colombia

Direct:

• Contribution to the decarbonization in Colombia, avoiding CO2 emission: with a clean energy production of 485,1 MWh per year, both solar installations will avoid the emission of 188,7 tons of CO2 every year. That is equivalent to planting 8.577 trees. The shopping centre Nuestro Atlántico is responsible, alone, for the reduction of emissions equivalent to 7.937 trees.

Indirect:

• Promotion of local supply chain: the Lacteos Campo Real produces artisanal cheese made without chemicals and preservatives, strengthening the role of local milk producers and suppliers in the region of Sotaquirá (Boyacá) in Colombia.
• Promotion of positive social and environmental impact in the region: the Lacteos Campo Real is a certified BIC company in Colombia – a Benefit and Collective Interest Corporation. This means that the company and its members commit to generating positive social and environmental impact as a core element of the business, beyond profit. They pay special attention to the role of women in the whole supply chain, and the main manager is a woman.
• Promotion of a transition towards sustainable and efficient resource use: the installation of a solar plant in a shopping centre Nuestro Atlántico is an example of the applicability of solar power for bigger businesses, setting a benchmark for this segment in Colombia.
