These situations add to the challenges that COVID-19 has already brought us in previous years. These challenges call for a strong global partnership, in which business plays a key role due to its capacity to generate economic and social development together with other social actors.<\/p><p>In this environment, the 2022 financial year was marked by cost increases and the integration of this deviation in our results so as not to make products more expensive for the end consumer. This effort was necessary to contain prices and mitigate the population\u2019s loss of purchasing power. It is precisely in this context that we remain committed to continue investing in order to consolidate our international development, increase the sustainability of our processes and generate innovative products in line with the latest trends in advanced food.<\/p><p>The food sector plays a fundamental role in social cohesion. By offering safe, healthy and affordable food we contribute to the development of fairer societies. To achieve this, we develop programmes of integration at source, quality and sustainability that allow us to involve all the actors in our value chain.<\/p><p>At Importaco, we have strengthened our commitment to quality, specialization and innovation by investing more than 17 million euros. Only through the generation of knowledge and the talent of our teams will we be able to implement models that make our customers\u2019 experience unique. In the area of sustainability, we have also reinforced our strategy through energy efficiency plans with which we have reduced our annual consumption by 10 % and the circular economy through zero waste certification in four production centres.<\/p><p>I would like to thank all the people who make up the Importaco team for their tireless work and dedication.

IDENTIFICATION<\/p>\n<p>An initial internal consultation and review of existing literature enabled us to identify a comprehensive list of issues directly or indirectly related to Importaco\u2019s business and stakeholder interests.

ASSESSMENT<\/p>\n<p>This step included a quantitative survey launched to all our stakeholders, involving some 700 Importaco employees, more than 20 suppliers and 15 key customers.

PRIORITISATION<\/p>\n<p>Guided by the perceptions of the various respondents, the final step was to identify the 20 key issues that Importaco should address as a priority. The prioritisation of material issues provides a framework for building strategies, making decisions in line with sustainable development and communicating progress more effectively. This allows us to define the main areas of action to improve the company and align plans with stakeholder expectations.  <\/p>\n<p>Once the issues relevant to Importaco and its stakeholders have been identified, the next steps include the prioritisation of issues and objectives to be addressed. We set measurable and achievable objectives that include a monitoring system for the evaluation of results.

To achieve this, we have developed processes for identifying, assessing, recording and controlling ESG (environmental, social and governance) risks that enable us to achieve our objectives as effectively as possible. These processes also help us to set standards that enable us to measure and monitor the effects of our activities on the environment and society, and to identify opportunities for improvement.   <\/p>\n<p>Our company has established a corporate risk map through which we have identified 64 risks, assessing their probability of occurrence and their potential economic, reputational, environmental and people-related impacts.<\/p>\n<p>The risks assessed are divided into strategic, operational, regulatory and financial risks. Strategic risks refer to risks related to corporate governance, strategic planning, strategic initiatives, growth policy, internationalisation and diversification, reputation and stakeholder communication. On the other hand, operational risks cover sales and marketing, supply chain, human resources, information technology, hazards and physical assets. Finally, regulatory risks are those related to legislation and ethical culture, while financial risks refer to impacts related to market, liquidity and credit, accounting and reporting, taxation and capital structure.   <\/p>\n<p>The process of prioritising the risks in each block determines the urgency required in the management response, the types of action needed and the level of investment in risk response. After reviewing and revising sustainability-related risks to identify changes that could significantly affect the business strategy and objectives, effective management of these risks is sought. Risk-related information is communicated to the Board of Directors and management with the objective of improving decisions related to strategy setting, day-to-day operations and the allocation of appropriate resources to address risk.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dc2ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8dc2ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:121,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0}\" href=\"#514\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e89dd29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e89dd29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>5.1.4.

We therefore foster a corporate culture based on equity, inclusion and the promotion of diversity to create fair working environments, where equal opportunities guarantee access to employment and professional development for all employees. Our workforce is made up of people with different nationalities and a balanced representation between men and women, with 1,123 men and 1,188 women working at Importaco.

We have therefore implemented an equality plan with the aim of ensuring the full and effective participation of women in the company, as well as equal leadership opportunities at all levels of decision making. To achieve this purpose, we have adopted and reinforced strong policies that promote women\u2019s equality and empowerment in all areas, thus promoting SDG 5.  <\/p>\n<p>Our equality plan promotes equal treatment and opportunities between women and men as a fundamental principle in labour relations and in the management of group members. To this end, we seek to promote equal pay, prevent sexual and gender-based harassment, and encourage the development of skills and competencies for internal promotion regardless of gender, age, culture and origin. It also seeks to incorporate the gender perspective in management policies and systems, to guarantee the use of inclusive language in the company\u2019s internal and external communications and to ensure a balanced gender pres- ence in all areas, levels and positions.  <\/p>\n<p>Importaco has a remuneration system that establishes an equitable structure based on a job-evaluation process. This methodology assigns points to different functions related to the job and its environment, in order to reflect the employees\u2019 contribution to the organisation\u2019s objectives. The sum of points obtained determines the salary level assigned to the job. This job-evaluation methodology has been worked on by external consultants as part of Importaco\u2019s remuneration project with the aim of achieving the greatest equity in the allocation of salaries. Importaco\u2019s workforce has an average salary of 27,001 euros, 28,356 for men and 25,437 for women. The existing salary difference is due to the distribution of men and women in organisational positions, as we have mechanisms in place to ensure that remuneration is associated with the job and is not influenced by the gender of the person who performs it. In other words, at Importaco we comply with the principle of \u201cequal pay for equal work\u201d.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ee6e43 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6ee6e43\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3a8970 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b3a8970\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de98c20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"de98c20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grf_14_eng.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1553\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37e7047 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"37e7047\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:120,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0}\" href=\"#524\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c51925 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c51925\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>5.2.4.

Thanks to this, people can express their opinions and suggestions to improve communication and culture at Importaco, which in turn motivates and engages the workforce. During the year 2022, a work climate survey was carried out, analysing different aspects such as communication, working conditions, change management, leadership and work organisation. The objective results in this evaluation have increased with respect to 2020, obtaining an overall rating of 6.60 points. A total of 1,771 people took part in this year\u2019s study: 845 men, 852 women and 74 people who did not indicate their gender.    <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the questionnaires, sessions have been held with different working groups to expand on the information received and to gather suggestions and proposals for improvement from the staff. The aim of these evaluations and sessions is to increase their satisfaction, motivation and link with Importaco.

Through dialogue between stakeholders, the aim is to meet the needs of both sides and to promote agreements that improve the well-being of both employees and the company. In the negotiation of collective agreements, several key points are covered, such as the provision of personal protective equipment, the establishment of health and safety committees, participation, training, grievance mechanisms and the right to refuse unsafe work. Multiple aspects and protocols are also foreseen to improve working conditions, including a protocol for action in case of sexual or gender-based harassment, environmental management, integration of minorities and training.   <\/p>\n<p>Professionals are involved in their own health and well-being by forming and participating in health and safety committees, which are composed on a parity basis and must meet quarterly. These committees are responsible for promoting initiatives to improve working conditions, as well as for monitoring occupational health and safety procedures. In centres with fewer than 50 workers, a prevention delegate is appointed to carry out this function.  <\/p>\n<p>All employees of the group are protected by collective bargaining agreements, sectoral agreements and national labour legislation. The agreements make direct reference to the statute in terms of notice periods prior to the implementation of significant operational changes, as well as notice periods and provisions for consultations and negotiations. <\/p>\n<p>In 2022, the agreement for the Importaco Waters business (formerly Natural Drinks) was formally negotiated, with improvements compared to the sectoral agreement, such as: shorter annual working hours, one additional day of holiday, more rest within the working day, 100 % supplement for temporary disa- bility in the event of sick leave due to common contingencies because of hospitalisation, compensation in the event of death of the worker, inclusion of variable remuneration, improvements in paid leave and higher salary remuneration.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b312ca1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b312ca1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7e2d2b p-sm elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e7e2d2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>RECONCILIATION AND DISCONNECTION FROM WORK<\/p>\n<p>Importaco\u2019s work-life balance system offers its professionals the possibility of taking advantage of different measures with the aim of optimising the management of their working time, such as flexible working hours, work-life balance or reduced working hours in situations of legal guardianship.

To achieve this, we have implemented a global health and safety management system, certified to the ISO 45001 standard, which is implemented in 10 workplaces, covering 85 % of the entire workforce. Through this standard we demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement in managing our health and safety risks by reducing accidents and illnesses, as well as increasing operational efficiency by reducing emergencies and sick leave.  <\/p>\n<p>Importaco\u2019s Health and Safety Department guarantees workers\u2019 compliance with the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks and the Prevention Services Regulations. This includes the identification and reduction of work-related hazards, the systematic and regular detection of early signs and symptoms of work-related injuries, and the adoption of preventive measures.

All donations are made in a transparent manner, applying internal control systems, such as the formulation of agreements and the traceability of donations. <\/p>\n<p>The social investment made by the company is aimed at supporting non-profit institutions and associations that develop projects for the promotion of nutrition and sport and professional development. Therefore, social spending in 2022 has gone to the San Vicente Ferrer Foundation, Spanish Red Cross, Zero Hunger, Sepelaco Cycling Club, Food Bank Association of Valencia, Help a Family Foundation, Alicante Gastronomic Solidarity Association, Together for Life Foundation, Niquia Children\u2019s Food Project, National Association of Bardet Biedl Syndrome and Ciliopatias Association, David Casinos Meeting, APORTEM and Atletico Nazareth Solidarity Football Tournament and Novaterra Foundation.   <\/p>\n<p>Within the framework of the National Plan for the Reduction of Childhood Obesity in Spain, an ambitious public health programme aimed at reducing childhood obesity in the nation, Importaco wishes to contribute to the promotion of healthy lifestyles among children and adolescents, as well as to the pre- vention of obesity. For this reason, we have launched the \u201cCome sano, crece fuerte\u201d project, which aims to raise awareness of the importance of healthy eating and physical activity, thereby pro- moting healthy lifestyles. Through education on healthy eating and physical activity, as well as the promotion of healthy food consumption among children, we have managed to reach 1,275 young people in Valencian schools, with a programme growth rate of 78 % compared to last year.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d1e86d p-2xl elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d1e86d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00abCome sano, crece fuerte\u00bb<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d16edc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2d16edc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8841667 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8841667\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grf_16_eng.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1557\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8347a24 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8347a24\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-583268e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"583268e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1467\" src=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_009.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-658\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_009.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_009-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_009-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_009-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_009-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Social project \u201cCome sano, crece fuerte\u201d to promote healthy eating and healthy habits in Valencian schools.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8c81f5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c8c81f5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:192,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0}\" href=\"#527\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec49285 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec49285\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>5.2.7.

Thanks to this programme, the company has managed to define requirements relating to the environment and human rights that make it possible to identify other companies that share the same commitment in these aspects in order to establish commercial alliances. In the same way, these requirements allow progress to be made in the creation of a supply chain that is increasingly sustainable and respectful of the planet and people.  <\/p>\n<p>The requirements of both the Code of Conduct and the Social Compliance Programme are mandatory. Suppliers are expected to comply not only with these criteria, but also with national and other applicable laws. In the event of a conflict between the basic code and the law, our business partners must apply the provision that offers greater protection to employees.  <\/p>\n<p>In this regard, the company seeks to ensure that all links in the supply chain comply with and respect human rights. To achieve this goal, strategic and preferred suppliers (who account for approximately 80 % of raw material purchases) have been involved in the Social Compliance Programme, with the aim of learning about compliance with labour rights, health and safety standards, environmental practices, as well as the application of ethics in the workplace. <\/p>\n<p>During 2022, the scope of the programme focused on the 52 strategic and preferred suppliers with whom we continuously work to improve sustainability and quality action plans. Within this framework, we achieved results of 96 % business connection on the Sedex platform and 77 % of suppliers with a current SMETA 4P audit. In 2023, we will continue to work towards expanding our goals to build a supply chain that is compliant with human rights and sustainability.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The specific commitments and policies for the respect of human rights included in our Code of Ethics set out obligations to:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">1. Establish and respect human dignity: recognise and respect the inherent worth and dignity of all people, respect their human rights and do not tolerate discrimination and harassment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">2. Prevent labour exploitation: do not allow exploitative labour or child labour, and do not accept working conditions that do not meet internationally recognised labour standards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">3. Protection of workers\u2019 rights: guarantee workers the right to form and join trade unions and the right to collective bargaining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">4. Protection of children\u2019s rights: no exploitation of child labour, forced labour, recruitment of children, or discrimination in the employment of children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">5. Protection of women\u2019s rights: prohibit discrimination in employment and sexual harassment, ensure equal opportunities and access to health services, and enable the payment of fair wages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">6. Environmental protection: promoting the responsible management of natural resources, respecting environmental laws and taking measures to prevent and reduce pollution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">7. Fiscal responsibility and conflicts of interest comply with tax obligations in all countries in which we operate and do not engage in tax evasion or corruption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">8. Transparency and accountability: providing transparent and complete information on the financial, operational and social situation of the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">9. Due diligence: constitute an ongoing management process to address their responsibility to respect human rights.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>To reinforce this, we also include the following compliance aspects in our code of conduct for suppliers:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">1. Commitment to human rights compliance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">2. Regular employment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-sm-enumeration\">3.

According to studies by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the greatest risks we face in our productive and agricultural activities are related to air, water, soil and atmospheric pollution, the environmental impact of packaging, changes in climate and the loss of biodiversity and soil health. <\/p>\n<p>These environmental risks are analysed and evaluated for their correct control within Importaco\u2019s environmental plans. In this sense, Importaco\u2019s agricultural projects have manuals of good agricultural practices to reduce the use of active substances, minimise the use of water and guarantee soil fertility. In our production centres, we maintain environmental management systems that integrate correct waste management and the sustainable use of natural resources. Importaco is currently certified in accordance with the ISO 14001 environmental management standard in all its production centres in Spain and Turkey.   <\/p>\n<p>Corporate management oversees an environmental management system in each of them, in order to minimise their environmental footprint and ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Prior to the implementation of new processes, their environmental impact is assessed to prevent any damage. The main objective is always to prevent, reduce and repair pollution, controlling carbon emissions, as well as noise and light pollution with possible effects on the environment.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c380f50 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c380f50\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:72,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0}\" href=\"#532\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-629af73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"629af73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>5.3.2.

As a company, we are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Importaco has a climate policy that establishes the lines of work to reduce our emissions in relation to the supply of products, the eco-design and circularity of packaging, sustainable mobility, energy decarbonisation and carbon removals. Among the actions included in this policy are the promotion of regenerative agriculture practices, research into new ranges of more sustainable packaging and the carbon neutrality of our work centres.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, we will realise a decarbonisation pathway aligned with the SBTi Alliance, an international organisation comprising the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF). In addition, we will involve our main raw material suppliers to join forces and contribute together to the decarbonisation of the nut sector. This initiative will allow us to make progress in the reduction of Scope 3 emissions.  <\/p>\n<p>During 2021, the level of emissions in Scopes 1 and 2 were higher than in 2020 due to increased production. However, the 2022 calculation reflects an emission reduction process, which has resulted in an overall reduction of 351.51 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>), equivalent to a percentage decrease of 3 %. This reduction is predominantly due to the reduction of fossil fuels.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-560ea4c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"560ea4c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e40b1d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e40b1d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>RESULTS OF THE CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATION<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97c5284 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"97c5284\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4df6aa1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4df6aa1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76df113 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"76df113\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"tablepress-23-description\" class=\"tablepress-table-description tablepress-table-description-id-23\">Emissions (tonnes of CO<sub>2<\/sub> equivalent)<\/span>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-23\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-23 p-sm\" aria-describedby=\"tablepress-23-description\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\">2020<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">2021<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">2022<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Scope 1<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">11,107<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">11,345<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">11,149<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Scope 2<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1,886<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2,164.3<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">2,008.71<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Scope 3<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">206,572<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">222,724<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">In progress<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c22f3fe e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c22f3fe\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-159dbbc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"159dbbc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1544af8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1544af8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grf_17_eng.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1559\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ff994d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2ff994d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-186d951 p-sm elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"186d951\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Additionally, this year we have carried out the calculation of the carbon footprint internally, with the aim of improving data col- lection procedures for greater accuracy.

As a result of its actions, since 2018 we have achieved a 20 % reduction in energy consumption and associated emissions. This is a direct result of conservation and efficiency initiatives, by which 4,990 MWh of electricity and diesel have been reduced. At Importaco, we prioritise the consumption of renewable energies such as renewable electrical energy or thermal energy generated with biomass boilers. Currently, 90 % of the electrical energy consumed is of renewable origin thanks to guarantees of origin, which accounts for 52 % of the total. In terms of self-consumption, an investment of 3.6 million euros was made in 2022 in the installation of 9,800 solar modules with a total power of 5200 kWp. The scope of this project cuts across the group\u2019s two business lines, nuts and mineral water, and will cover 14 % of the energy needs of the production centres in Spain. The panels are currently installed at the dried fruit and nuts centres in the Valencia region (Beniparrell, Carlet, Chella, Sagunto and Vall d\u2019Alba), and at the bottling plants in Cortes de Arenoso, Calera y Chozas (Toledo) and Bronchales (Teruel). In total, the project will complete the roofing of 10 work centres, which are expected to be fully operational in 2023. This initiative has been financed with a sustainable credit and will avoid the emission of 4,600 tonnes of CO<sub>2<\/sub> per year, the energy equivalent to the consumption of 1,800 Spanish households. In addition, a pilot project has been carried out for the use of solar thermal energy as an alternative to gas at the snack production centre in Carlet (Valencia). The project includes the installation of 16 solar modules with a thermal capacity of 290 kWt and a production potential of 305,000 kWh. This initiative is part of Importaco\u2019s strategy to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, which includes the study of new energy formulas, such as biogas.  \n\n  \n   \n\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5459d96 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5459d96\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1814e79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1814e79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"tablepress-24-description\" class=\"tablepress-table-description tablepress-table-description-id-24\">Consumption and emissions by energy source<\/span>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-24\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-24 p-sm tbody-has-connected-cells\" aria-describedby=\"tablepress-24-description\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td rowspan=\"2\" class=\"column-1\"><\/td><td colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-2\"><element class=\"cell-title\">2021<\/element><\/td><td colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-4\"><element class=\"cell-title\">2022<\/element><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-2\"><element class=\"cell-title\">MWh<\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><element class=\"cell-title\">Tons of CO<sub>2<\/sub><\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-4\"><element class=\"cell-title\">MWh<\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-5\"><element class=\"cell-title\">Tons of CO<sub>2<\/sub><\/element><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><element class=\"cell-title\">Electricity<\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">51,467<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1,444<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">54,750<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">1,161<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><element class=\"cell-title\">Gas<\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">40,858<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">8,946<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">41,979<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">8,016<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><element class=\"cell-title\">Propane<\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2,838<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">718<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">3,598<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">883<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><element class=\"cell-title\">Diesel<\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1,690<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">520<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">190<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">48<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><element class=\"cell-title\">Almond shells<\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">5,221<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">4,712<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><element class=\"cell-title\">Total<\/element><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">102,075<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">11,722<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">105,229<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">10,107<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c815920 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c815920\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:97,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0}\" href=\"#533\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7945f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d7945f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>5.3.3.

Importaco has aligned its environmental plans with the targets set out in Sustainable Development Goal 6, using the measurement of the company\u2019s water footprint as a key indicator. This has led us to raise awareness internally about the rational use of water, develop reuse plans, improve wastewater recycling systems and optimise cleaning tasks to achieve greater efficiency. In the nuts business, we have implemented water-saving measures in agricultural crops and optimised the industrial cleaning processes of the production centres. In addition, we have wastewater recycling systems through which we reuse 17,116 tonnes for the production of biogas, and we treat 132,018 cubic metres of wastewater in compliance with water quality standards. In the mineral water business, we have special plans to protect aquifers and their environment, ensuring their purity and sustainable use. In addition to monitoring the state of the aquifers for the maintenance of water resources, we carry out exhaustive controls of the security perimeter to prevent any external contamination that could alter the composition of the water. As for cleaning and hygiene tasks, we have CIP (Cleaning in Place) stations at our Agua de Cortes, Agua de Bronchales, Fuente Arevalillo and Font des Teix springs to reduce the use of cleaning products and water, maintaining the highest standards of hygiene. In 2022, the total water consumption in both businesses was 1,099,897 cubic metres, which was used for mineral water bottling, nut processing and hygiene tasks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-229e741 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"229e741\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0debfef e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0debfef\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc3cbb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bc3cbb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grf_18_eng.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1561\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-831faaa e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"831faaa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:121,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0}\" href=\"#534\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64be472 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"64be472\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>5.3.4.

In 2023, we will establish an action plan under the new Food Waste Prevention and Management Act to put in place the necessary measures to reduce food waste in industry and improve the existing food chain, as well as the redistribution of uneaten food. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-043ce4a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"043ce4a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4777cbf elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"4777cbf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<table id=\"tablepress-25\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-25 p-sm\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Waste generated (t)<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">2021<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">2022<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Method of elimination<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Cardboard<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2,435<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2,159<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Recycling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Plastic<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">929<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">891<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Recycling and energy recovery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Organic<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2,581<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2,655<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Re-use, resale, by-product or animal feed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Raffia<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">447<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">468<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Recycling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Industrial waste<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">797<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">775<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Energy recovery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Wood<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">147<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">170<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Recycling and reuse<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Scrap<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">136<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">53<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Recycling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Oil<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">411<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">633<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Recycling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sludge and sludge<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">14,844<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">17,124<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Energy recovery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Other non-hazardous waste<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">No data<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1,562<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Recycling, recovery and reuse<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Total hazardous waste<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">58<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">62<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Treatment according to the nature of each waste<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-131800a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"131800a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:145,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0}\" href=\"#535\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e73391e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e73391e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>5.3.5.

To this end, it is essential to carry out life cycle analyses of our main products in order to understand the environmental impacts of their cultivation and production. <\/p>\n<p>To move towards more sustainable production, we need the involvement of our suppliers and their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. We carry out this involvement through the Social Compliance Programme where we evaluate the environmental performance of suppliers through the SMETA 4P standard, and through the agricultural integration strategy to implement farming practices that meet quality, food safety and sustainability standards. As part of this strategy, Importaco is part of the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) and has implemented a series of practices to reduce the environmental impact of its crops.  <\/p>\n<p>The agricultural integration project integrates our own production and partnerships with farmers for concerted production. In this area, we are committed to respecting land rights and natural resources with our suppliers by analysing the critical points that may affect them, drawing up action plans for their management, including water management, integrated production and the protection of biodiversity, as well as monitoring and indicators for each of them. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43e9f3a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"43e9f3a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f8b860 p-sm elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9f8b860\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our main commitments would be threefold:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2196349 p-lg-enumeration elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2196349\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A.

It currently has an area of 550 hectares spread over the La Guita, Freixo and Zurria estates, which are cultivated in accordance with sustainable and regenerative agricultural standards. Among the achievements reached in 2022, it is worth highlighting that 100 % of the crops maintain a vegetation cover integrated by a part of spontaneous flora typical of the ecosystem; and the 60 % reduction in the use of active substances thanks to the integrated management of pests and the implementation of Integrated Production practices. In addition, we conduct annual audits to assess sustainability criteria such as water use, soil management and nutrient requirements.   <\/p>\n<p>In order to achieve a biological balance in the almond tree plots, we continue with our action plans focused on biodiversity protection such as the installation of nesting boxes, shelters for reptiles, bats, etc. and drinking troughs for birds. During 2022, we have achieved the certification of the La Guita farm in the Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA) standard and the GLOBALG.A.P. 5.2 Certification in all Importaco Terra farms, demonstrating our high level of performance in this area and achieving the first Spanish almond to obtain FSA silver level. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58d9a71 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"58d9a71\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d65dfd3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"d65dfd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"tablepress-28-description\" class=\"tablepress-table-description tablepress-table-description-id-28\">Main soil health threats identified and soil management practices used<\/span>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-28\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-28 p-sm\" aria-describedby=\"tablepress-28-description\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Potential threats<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Action plans<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Soil erosion<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">A plan is drawn up for the use of machinery to carry out tasks, avoiding the use of ploughs and protecting the vegetation cover.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Loss of biodiversity (micro-organisms)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Organic pesticides and fertilisers are used, as well as a plan with a focus on preserving the natural habitat through conservation practices.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Fertiliser toxicity<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Fertilisation is applied only to those plants that require it, as determined by irrigation probes, soil analysis and foliar analysis.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b18b2b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9b18b2b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c88657c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c88657c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbdfd13 p-lg elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cbdfd13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>OWN PEANUT PRODUCTION<\/p>\n<p>Importaco is carrying out a project to grow peanuts in Argentina, with the aim of offering high quality, food safe and sustainable products.

These products are designed to offer healthy and appetising food through high quality products produced with the latest technology.  <\/p>\n<p>We have also improved our snack line by producing healthy nuts without artificial additives. These snacks are rich in nutrients and flavours, making them a healthy and fun option for consumers. Another of our other lines of innovation is food supplements to improve the nutrition and health of consumers. These supplements are designed to provide the necessary amount of essential nutrients for consumers. Finally, Importaco is working on the development of a line of healthy creams, made with 100 % natural ingredients and no artificial preservatives.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddce9ec e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ddce9ec\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfb4f35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"dfb4f35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"tablepress-29-description\" class=\"tablepress-table-description tablepress-table-description-id-29\">Innovation achievements in 2022<\/span>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-29\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-29 p-sm\" aria-describedby=\"tablepress-29-description\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">New launches<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">189<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Innovation sales over total sales<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">5.4 %<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29a1050 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"29a1050\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eab1775 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"eab1775\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3223a7e p-lg elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3223a7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our aim is to offer the highest quality products to satisfy a healthy lifestyle with products that are wholesome, nutritious and sustainable.

The contribution workshops are meeting points where professionals discover how to contribute their knowledge to the creation of a product of optimum quality. Through the PROA Plan, the aim is to assess each process in order to improve the quality of the products. To this end, 44 practices have been defined that will be evaluated to measure the performance of each professional, made up of OD practices (key points to achieve maximum quality) and PROA practices (continuous improvement processes to achieve excellence). The cells of excellence are multidisciplinary teams created to address challenges related to quality, raw material selection and product preservation, with the aim of achieving quality 10 (Q10).\n   \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d137de e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9d137de\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-884fe2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"884fe2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>360\u00b0 Quality Model<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf331d5 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"bf331d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b3c4ca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2b3c4ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a351546 p-sm elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a351546\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Importaco has created a 360\u00b0 quality model in order to offer consumers safe, nutritious and healthy products. This transversal model manages quality through four dimensions: corrective, preventive, predictive and exploratory, in order to guarantee the integration of quality requirements in all phases of the value chain. It is based on specialised knowledge of customers, products and processes, as well as neuroscience studies that contribute to well-being. This research focuses on understanding mental health and cognition, and analyses the interaction of nuts and dried fruits with the human brain. These processes are carried out with transparency and from a multidisciplinary perspective, involving different stakeholders in order to ensure the highest standards of quality and food safety.    <\/p>\n<p>CORRECTIVE QUALITY<\/p>\n<p>At Importaco\u2019s centres, corrective quality is oriented towards the evaluation and continuous improvement of quality through process control and customer service. We have the best technology to guarantee the reliability and specialisation of each process, as well as uninterrupted monitoring controls of the production lines, which are made up of an average of 150 parameters, 25 % of which are dedicated to food safety. As an example, in the natural drinks business, a total of 114,072 physico-chemical analyses and 181,365 microbiological analyses have been carried out to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.  <\/p>\n<p>In addition, we have a specialised customer service team in charge of managing and analysing recommendations on our products, as well as auditing customers and implementing process improvements to guarantee the technical characteristics of the product. These protocols regulate the response times to any query or incident related to food safety, in order to fulfil our commitment to immediate response. <\/p>\n<p>PREVENTIVE QUALITY<\/p>\n<p>Importaco has implemented a preventive quality process to ensure the application of strict quality and food safety protocols during all stages of the value chain. In addition, we collaborate annually with more than 453 farmers to cultivate a total of 67,631 tons of produce. This enables product traceability from the field and the application of good agricultural practices to maximise quality and reduce defects.  <\/p>\n<p>Likewise, in 2022 we have continued to make progress in our own almond and peanut cultivation project, which allows us to continue generating knowledge on cultivation processes and the integration of sustainable practices. As a result, we have achieved a crop free of endemic diseases, as well as guaranteeing traceability and adapting cultivation techniques to customer needs. Specifically, 570 hectares have been reached in the peanut cultivation project in Argentina, with harvest results of more than 2,000 tonnes.  <\/p>\n<p>Importaco\u2019s quality at origin programme seeks to collaborate with its suppliers to establish a common quality and food safety programme, aligned with the criteria established by the organisation. This is carried out through the following two lines of work: audits at source and the implementation of quality management systems in line with Importaco\u2019s culture of excellence. We implement procedures for the selection of raw materials and the control of defects and carry out on-site audits to monitor parameters such as allergen management, the stability of the product\u2019s nutritional values, among others. Additionally, we verify that suppliers are audited according to GFSI international standards and that their processes comply with Importaco\u2019s standards of excellence. Once the products arrive at Importaco\u2019s facilities, strict controls of raw materials and storage are carried out to verify their technical parameters. These controls are based on technical data sheets and are followed throughout the production process to ensure that all identified risks are monitored. In addition, the 6 Sigma methodology is applied, emerging risks are continuously assessed and new technologies are implemented to ensure the stability of the process. Importaco\u2019s production processes are certified in accordance with the international food safety and quality standards BRC and IFS Food, as well as through verification systems for religious community practices, such as kosher and halal.       <\/p>\n<p>EXPLORATORY QUALITY<\/p>\n<p>Exploratory quality investigates the use of new technologies with the aim of finding solutions to quality challenges. To this end, we carry out open innovation projects, where, through collaboration with technology centres and start-ups, we carry out a cross-sector study to assess the capacity of consolidated technologies in other fields, as well as emerging technologies with the ability to progress. <\/p>\n<p>PREDICTIVE QUALITY<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we apply data intelligence methodologies based on predictive quality in order to establish product behaviour. This is an emerging line of work that seeks to reduce product deviations through multivariate data analysis. Thanks to on-line and at-line data collection, we are able to identify process changes and prevent any deviations in production. To achieve this, we have annual process reports, trend analysis of critical quality characteristics and continuous monitoring systems through quality cells.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72c7178 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"72c7178\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00fca6f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"00fca6f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdab2d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cdab2d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grf_20_eng.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1565\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d84b3b3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d84b3b3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:121,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0}\" href=\"#544\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ef20f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ef20f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>5.4.4.

The purpose of the advanced food project is to promote the benefits of nuts and dried fruit to improve people\u2019s health through a healthy diet. To this end, we carry out research into the design of products associated with the needs of special groups, such as the elderly and children, the functional properties of nuts and their capacity to maintain people\u2019s wellbeing.  <\/p>\n<p>Advanced nutrition stems from the knowledge we have accumulated at Importaco about nuts and their health benefits. Through transparent processes, and from a multidisciplinary perspective, we collaborate with clients, technology centres, start-ups and researchers in social sciences and nutrition. In addition, we explore new avenues of research based on three health benefits: emotional wellbeing, the relationship between diet and wellbeing and the possibility of delaying ageing.  <\/p>\n<p>Within the framework of resolving our company\u2019s R&amp;D&amp;I challenges, in 2022 a multidisciplinary group from the Quality, MA and Innovation Area began a project to explore biotechnological strategies to eliminate nut allergenicity. During the project, different technologies (thermal, physicochemical and biological treatments) were compiled by means of which it would be possible to eliminate or significantly reduce nut allergy, and a collaboration was initiated with the allergy research group of La Fe Health Research Institute through the member of this group and allergist of La Fe University and Polytechnic Hospital, Dr. Ram\u00f3n L\u00f3pez Salgueiro. As a result of this collaboration, we have initiated several lines of work with Dr. L\u00f3pez, to resolve specific cases of allergies, as well as the possibility of having initiated a project to study the elimination of the declaration of the presence of traces of nuts in our products. Specifically, this study will evaluate the possible allergenicity of a food matrix by confronting an extract of the food with serum from patients allergic to nuts and milk.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a5a468 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0a5a468\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-798b476 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"798b476\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"3299\" src=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_013.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-656\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_013.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_013-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_013-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_013-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_013-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/importaco.com\/memoriadesostenibilidad2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/p_013-1366x2048.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Paula Salv\u00e1, laboratory analyst at the Importaco Technology Centre, carrying out quality tests.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Importaco is an international food company specialising in the production of nuts and mineral water.
