It means understanding where they come from, identifying opportunities for improvement, and converting that information into concrete decisions<sup><\/sup>. This vision is an integral part of our <strong>Superior DNA<\/strong>, allowing us to move toward an increasingly efficient and responsible operation to support our Industry and Consumer Goods divisions.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, the measurement of our carbon footprint has become a fundamental tool to guide our actions and evaluate, year after year, our performance<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Baseline to Begin Transforming (2024-2025)<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The year 2024 marked an important reference point for Superior<sup><\/sup>. From this exercise, we established our baseline, with a footprint of approximately 105,014 tons of CO\u2082 equivalent (tCO\u2082e)<sup><\/sup>. This measurement allowed us to understand the origin of our emissions and identify a relevant reality: the majority of our footprint is found in Scope 3, that is, in activities related to our value chain<sup><\/sup>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, our footprint reached approximately 121,226 tCO\u2082e, representing a 15.4% increase compared to 2024<sup><\/sup>. However, this result must be analyzed within the context of our operation&#8217;s growth<sup><\/sup>. Measuring the footprint allows us to differentiate between the growth of productive activity and the efficiency with which that growth occurs<sup><\/sup>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is precisely there where the reduction actions that our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gruposuperior.com\/en\/about-us\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1193\">Superior People<\/a><\/strong> have begun to implement gain importance:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We promote process optimization so that the company&#8217;s growth does not translate proportionally into a growth of our emissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We drive the continuous transformation of our energy matrix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We maintain the objective of not only producing more, but doing so in an increasingly efficient manner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technology to Measure Better and Act Faster<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During 2026, we took an important step to strengthen the way we manage our emissions: we worked on the automation of consumption data collection through the development of an application<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This technology represents much more than an improvement in measurement, providing us with tangible advantages:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It facilitates recording from each generation point, providing more standardized, organized, and reliable information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It allows for real-time monitoring of consumption at each location and the identification of possible variations outside of usual parameters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It generates alerts that help us timely detect deviations, failures, or atypical consumption, allowing us to act before the problem turns into a greater impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transforming Our Value Chain and Energy Matrix<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main challenges lies outside our facilities, as Scope 3 represents around 92% of our footprint<sup><\/sup>. For this reason, since 2026 we have promoted <strong>Purposeful Chain<\/strong>, an initiative aimed at working alongside our suppliers to identify impacts, promote emissions measurement, and develop joint reduction actions<sup><\/sup>. Sustainability is not built in isolation; here, each strategic ally contributes their <strong>grain of flour<\/strong> to form an increasingly conscious, prepared, and committed value chain<sup><\/sup>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internally, we are also transforming our energy to move forward:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>In Scope 2:<\/strong> We evaluate and develop initiatives to increase photovoltaic energy generation and leverage hydroelectric sources, seeking a self-generating and renewable matrix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In Scope 1:<\/strong> We drive the progressive transition from more intensive fuels, such as diesel, toward alternatives like LPG, improving efficiency and reducing the use of fossil fuels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/gruposuperior.com\/en\/sustainability\/\" style=\"background-color:#262e61\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See sustainability results <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Commitment Toward Tomorrow<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The carbon footprint allows us to look at our operation with greater clarity: to understand where we are, recognize the challenges, and measure how much we advance<sup><\/sup>. The results obtained and the digitalization of our data are concrete steps toward a more efficient operation<sup><\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Superior, we believe that every piece of data must become a decision and every decision, an opportunity to improve<sup><\/sup>. Measuring our footprint is only the starting point; reducing it and transforming ourselves responsibly is the commitment with which, today and always, we <strong>Feed a better future<\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how at Superior we measure and transform our carbon footprint through technology, operational efficiency, and sustainable alliances.
