Commitment to Sustainability
At AFZ, we operate under a comprehensive strategy known as 3P+i, which prioritizes the well-being of people, society, and the environment, hand-in-hand with innovation, to foster a collaborative and forward-thinking environment with all our stakeholders.
This strategy is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), allowing us to focus our actions and programs in line with the 2030 Agenda, with a strong emphasis on the following areas:
__ AFZ’s ESG Framework
Our working model is grounded in a sustainability strategy that drives initiatives across all three pillars of ESG: social, environmental, and governance.
Its purpose is to ensure the well-being of our stakeholders, the profitable growth of the organization and its value chain, and the socioeconomic development of our communities and the environment.
__ Sustainability Pillars
Through our ESG strategy, we develop programs and initiatives with social and environmental impact to create value for the environment, the communities where we operate, and the well-being of people.
We also actively promote transparency in our operations and a firm stance against corruption.
Social
We promote a positive social impact through programs and actions focused on the well-being of individuals and our surrounding communities.
Environmental
We protect and preserve the environment through a strategy that minimizes the impact of our operations, supports the sustainable use of natural resources, and contributes to the fight against climate change
Governance
We transform economic well-being into social and environmental value, ensuring the long-term sustainability of our operations.
__ Expanded Sustainability Committee
Guided by the pillars of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Environment, Employment, and Education, we are committed to working with integrity, collaboration, and creativity to generate a positive impact on society, the environment, and the economy.
AFZ’s Expanded Sustainability Committee is made up of companies within our business community who share a common purpose: to create collective value both inside and beyond AFZ.
The committee also includes task-specific commissions responsible for turning its objectives into action.
__ Sustainability Report
As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, we share our Sustainability Report, aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework, and made available to all our stakeholders.
