Environmental management
from Sustainability Report 2020
by Sigma
We continually develop eco-efficiency projects focused on reducing our environmental footprint.
Building sustainable operations
At Sigma, we work as one company to implement environmental best practices. We are guided by our Environmental Policy and applicable regulations to optimize resource management throughout our extensive network of operations, which includes 70 plants and 210 distribution centers in 18 countries, as well as one of the largest refrigerated distribution fleets in Mexico and Romania.
In 2020, our Operational Unit in Mexico added a new module of the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) working tool. With this sustainable management initiative, we can assess the sustainable performance of our operation sites and build specific action plan for each plant.
Environmental community
We are constantly evolving to build a culture of environmental excellence. The Sigma Environmental Community functions as an advisory group that trains and guides our plant leaders and fosters the exchange of best practices to optimize the use of resources such as water, fuel, and electricity.
More than 100 employees participate in the Environmental Community. During 2020, we implemented eco-efficiency projects in Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic designed to contribute to our environmental goals. As part of our implementation of best practices, in 2021 the community will expand its scope to Ecuador and Peru.
