Corticeira Amorim has subscribed to the Porto Climate Pact, thereby joining forces with various partners who are equally committed to making Porto a leading city in terms of carbon neutrality. Created by Porto City Council earlier this year, the Porto Climate Pact has more than one hundred signatories, including companies, associations and educational institutions. The City Council aims to reduce carbon emissions by 2030 and thereby build a competitive, resilient and fair city.
Joining the Porto Climate Pact is more that a resolution that pays testimony to Corticeira Amorim’s commitment to adopting, cultivating and promoting best practices in terms of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and ensuring its activities are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular, in this case, alignment with SDG 17 “Partnerships for implementation of objectives”. Corticeira Amorim has also recently joined the UN Global Compact - a voluntary movement of the United Nations that brings together more than 15,000 companies, based in 163 countries, whose strategies, activities and operations are aligned with universal principles of human rights, fair labour practices, environmental protection and anti-corruption.
António Rios de Amorim, Chairman and CEO of Corticeira Amorim, commented in this regard: «At Corticeira Amorim we are committed to growth, ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being, the development of our People, efficient resource management, protection of the balance of ecosystems and the circularity of processes and the economy». He concluded: «We develop low carbon products and solutions that help mitigate climate change and we are aware of our positive contribution throughout the value chain. Every day we work to reduce the environmental impact of our activities and to promote sustainable development throughout our sphere of influence».
