environmental compensation

We are facing one of the most worrying environmental crises, the devastating effects caused by climate change, glaciation, warming of the earth’s crust and an alarming increase in natural disasters.

Undoubtedly, it is a critical situation in which as a society we had a leading role and for which governmental and non-governmental entities, ecologists and activists demanding that both companies and individuals take action and be part of the solution.

According to data shared by the United Nations: Energy is the main driver of climate change, accounting for about 60% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. Considering the role that energy plays in the production chain of every company, from Cervecería Nacional We decided to take action, adopting a culture that is increasingly aware of our planet, which is reflected in our operational processes and innovative solutions that help us reduce our carbon footprint.

That’s how we managed to be the first breweries in Panama and Central America in the production of all our products with 100% solar energy thanks to the commissioning of more than 31,000 solar panels that cover the operation of our facility located in Ave.. Simón Bolívar (Transisthmic). ANDThis meant a reduction of more than 12,000 tons of CO2 per year, which is equivalent to planting 72,000 mature trees or avoiding pollution from 1,700 vehicles.

Although it is a task that requires great effort ia significant investments of the business sectorit is no less certain that it creates countless benefits that include: operational cost savings with long-term reductions in electricity bills, energy savings, less dependence on external energy and better supply of resources, moving ever further towards sustainability.

Progress from technology makes us optimistic about the futuremaking available to us various tools to transform processes in different industries and to be able to do more friendly and environmentally conscious.

Although the integration of renewable energy sources and the adoption of processes that pollute the environment less is a mission accompanied by numerous challenges, the fruits and benefits it creates are greater, not only for the environment but also for everyone involved. why National brewery It started as a dream a few years ago, it has been perfected over time and today it is one of the main achievements that has undoubtedly given us brought great reasons to toast.

I am glad to see that every day there is a growing interest in the business sector to allocate resources and strive to be more aware of impact of their processes and in turn seek mechanisms for their compensation. It is a constant cycle of learning that we are all in, and the mission is one: to open new paths to achieve environmental compensation.
