EMPLOYEES AND FACILITIES

The fifth pillar of the Puig Sustainability Program is focused on reducing the environmental impact of the company’s employees and facilities. It is necessary to engage employees and suppliers because they play a fundamental role.

Most of the GHG emissions associated with employees in 2017 came from vehicle fleet and business travel, therefore certain initiatives were put in place to reduce the impact of these activities.
