Environment
- APK2 carbon neutral
Since 2019, the carbon footprint calculation has been performed annually and in 2023 we have reached a crucial milestone in our sustainability strategy, neutralizing greenhouse gas emissions from our activity. It is important to highlight the success of the emissions reduction plan, as we have reduced our carbon footprint by 96%.
The project we support and with which we have offset the Carbon Footprint, is called Golvada (Soutomaior) and belongs to the forest space restoration program of the Galician Forestry Association called "Galicia Rexenera". This forest restoration project, which began in 2020, is located in the Arcade de Riba Mountain, in Pontevedra, and is a direct response to the fire that affected the area in 2006. The benefits of the project include: promotion of biodiversity, erosion control, contribution to the improvement of the water cycle and generation of local employment.
- Energy management
Energy efficiency is a priority to minimize our environmental impact. Energy consumption, especially electricity used in lighting, access control systems, elevators, and air conditioning, represents our main significant environmental aspect. For this reason, we have set clear goals to optimize energy management and all our energy consumption is guaranteed to be of renewable origin.
- Waste management
We are committed to the responsible management of the waste produced in our car parks. The Centre Management Plans include specific protocols for waste management, guaranteeing the protection of health and the environment, as well as strict compliance with current legislation.
We have achieved a significant reduction in paper waste generation by adopting license plate recognition systems and implementing digital payment methods, eliminating the need for paper receipts and tickets.
- Sustainable mobility
We have strategic alliances with Car Sharing operators and with recognized vehicle rental companies with the purpose of promoting the use of shared mobility and sustainable transportation alternatives, thus facilitating the transition to more environmentally friendly forms of transportation.
- Boosting eletric mobility
Our commitment to electric mobility is strong and growing. Since 2020, in collaboration with suppliers, we have significantly increased our service offering, integrating an increasing number of charging stations for electric vehicles.
Social
Governance
Information security is of great importance in APK2's risk management, and in recent years it has been committed to digital transformation by offering innovation with the implementation of technologies that improve the user experience, but without forgetting the security and privacy of customers, through an information security system.
