Execute the global water stewardship strategy to ensure proper use of the resource.
ESG performance
Engage with the value chain to ensure sustainability compliance and benchmark best practices.

We promote sustainability awareness through initiatives and events
Global Forum
The 2022 Global Sustainability Forum brought together more than 1,450 employees from all our geographies to discuss main achievements and how the company’s 2025 Sustainability Commitments can be accomplished. In addition, we invited a number of experts to speak about the challenges society is facing in relation to water and gender equity.
Sustainability Week
We celebrated Sigma’s Sustainability Week, in which employees proactively adopted actions aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In the fifth edition of this challenge, more than 450 employees and their families attended workshops and carried out actions in favor of the environment and the community, including recycling initiatives, inclusion of people with disabilities, and meditation for wellbeing, among others.

Through the Sustainability Newsletter, we create awareness among our employees and communicate our efforts’ results. We also recognize the work of all those who contribute to the strategy and encourage them to continue promoting new initiatives.
We continuously reduce the environmental impact of our operations and value chain, promote a circular economy, and use natural resources efficiently.
