Environmental Commitment

environment

We are aware of the challenges that the planet presents us with and that as an organization we can contribute from our position, reducing the impact generated.

Recycling

Within the initiatives that we promote internally, there is recycling and support for the reduction of our Carbon Footprint.

During 2022, we achieved the following recycling and impact reduction figures:

230 trees

180,900 kilos of plastic

4,850 kilos of paper

One tree for each B&E member

In alliance with Fundación Reforestemos, we launched the internal initiative “Barros & Errázuriz Forest”. We have 230 trees (annually) that are planted as our team celebrates its anniversary. In this way, we collaborate in the restoration, protection and reforestation of ecosystems.
