At Mercanza, sustainability is a daily practice that forms part of our organisational culture. Through various initiatives, we actively work to reduce our environmental impact and promote ecological awareness among employees and our customers.
Responsible Waste Management
We have implemented a waste separation system that allows for the correct sorting and disposal of waste: separation of paper/cardboard, organic waste, batteries, and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
These actions promote a culture of recycling and shared responsibility among all of us at Mercanza.
Renewable and Clean Energy
We have solar panels that allow us to generate clean energy, significantly reducing our carbon footprint. This investment in renewable energy directly contributes to:
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Energy self-sufficiency at our facilities.
- Compliance with global climate change targets.
This demonstrates that 100% of the energy supplied during 2024 has been covered by energy generated from renewable sources.
The 3R philosophy: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
We adopt sustainable practices that minimise waste generation and promote the efficient use of resources:
- We reduce unnecessary consumption of materials and energy by prioritising digital solutions, avoiding unnecessary printing and promoting paperless working.
- We reuse technological components such as computers, keyboards, screens and peripherals, extending their useful life before they are discarded.
- We recycle equipment that has reached the end of its life cycle, sending it to certified and responsible recycling processes.
Responsible and Sustainable Purchasing
We select suppliers who share our environmental values, prioritising those who:
- They offer products with organic certifications.
- They have sustainable production policies.
- They promote the circular economy and the reduction of technological waste.
Corporate Garden
We have a small urban garden on our premises where we grow seasonal produce. During harvest season, the food is available for staff to consume, promoting:
- Healthy eating.
- Connection with nature.
- Appreciation of these sustainable spaces.
Environmental Awareness
We produce regular information bulletins for our employees, with the aim of:
- Raise awareness about relevant environmental issues.
- Promote sustainable habits inside and outside the workplace.
- Encourage participation in green initiatives.
Furthermore, at Mercanza, we actively promote sustainable habits that contribute to caring for the environment. These practices are applied in different areas of our daily work:
- Energy Saving
- Water Saving
- Responsible Paper Consumption
- Waste Management
These actions not only reduce the company’s environmental impact, but also foster a culture of responsibility and commitment among all employees.
