Driving sustainable change

At Lasenor, sustainability is more than a responsibility—it is a fundamental value that shapes how we operate and grow. By integrating environmental, social, and economic sustainability into our daily operations, we strive to minimize our environmental impact while supporting responsible development. Through targeted initiatives in decarbonization, water conservation, and waste management, we are creating meaningful change. These efforts align with global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG-12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG-13 (Climate Action), and SDG-6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).

Cutting carbon, growing green

Decarbonization is a key pillar of our sustainability efforts, targeting greenhouse gas emissions across direct operations, purchased energy, and supply chain activities. Through efficiency upgrades, renewable energy adoption, and future carbon offset projects, we are reducing our carbon footprint while driving innovation for a greener future.

At Lasenor, we classify emissions into three scopes under the greenhouse gas (GHG) Protocol:

What we have achieve:

Scope 1

In Scope 1, we achieved a 21% reduction in emissions primarily by using renewable gas purchased from Naturgy. This includes improved management of refrigerant gases and enhancements in the efficiency of our steam and thermal oil heating systems.

Scope 2

In Scope 2, in 2024 we have achieved a 73% reduction in CO₂ emissions, thanks tomaintaining the agreements with Endesa so that all our electricity is sourced from renewable sources, along with the energy we produce through our solar panels.

Scope 3

Scope 3 decreased by 23%, partly due to the reduced impact of emissions from the energy we consume. However, as the workforce has grown over the past year, commuting and business travel have increased.

Saving every drop

Water is one of the world’s most precious resources, and conserving it is a priority at Lasenor. This is especially critical for operations in water-scarce regions, like the Mediterranean, where sustainable water management is essential to both our business and the environment.

By modernizing systems, optimizing processes, and implementing rainwater collection, we reduce consumption and ensure sustainable use of this vital resource. Our advanced wastewater treatment systems also uphold the highest standards, aligning with our commitment to preserving water for future generations.

Actions taken:

Improve the efficiency of the steam system

Maintain and improve the efficiency of the steam system by modernizing the boiler and thus improving the reuse of condensates.

Modernization of vacuum systems

Modernization of vacuum systems in emulsifier plants.

Harnessing rainwater

Harnessing rainwater for cleaning roads and gardens.

Improvement of cleaning

Improvement of cleaning and product change procedures that should reduce hose flow rate.

Long-term goals:

Long-term goals

These initiatives help us align with SDG-6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) while safeguarding water resources for future generations. By optimizing consumption and improving reuse processes, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also ensure the resilience of our operations in water-scarce regions. This commitment reflects our dedication to responsible resource management and to creating a sustainable legacy.

Rethinking waste for a cleaner tomorrow

Effective waste management is an integral part of our sustainability strategy. At Lasenor, we view waste not as a byproduct, but as an opportunity to innovate and contribute to a circular economy. By prioritizing reduction, reuse, and recycling, we minimize our environmental footprint while finding new value in materials that might otherwise be discarded. Through advanced processes, strategic collaborations, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we are transforming waste management into a driver of sustainability and responsible growth.
