Water

Water is a good that must be preserved. Access to water is a basic human right, paramount to survival and essential to the maintenance of healthy natural environments.
ALMINA’s contribution is done through a rational and efficient management of this resource.

Water resources are conserved so they can continue to support healthy ecosystems and sustain economic growth.

Water monitoring carried out at ALMINA facilities:

Surface;
Underground;
Household waste;
Discharges into the environment.

ALMINA holds a recirculation water system that makes it possible to use this resource in different ways and several industrial processes.

Energy

ALMINA optimizes energy equipment. Adopting sustainability is no longer an option and has become a necessity.

ALMINA’s solutions involve the rationalization of energy use inside and outside the company and promote the improvement of social and environmental conditions so as to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and the consumption of green energy.

ALMINA establishes strategies for the reduction of energy consumption and strongly invests in “green innovations”.
