Eco Efficiency

At Upala Agrícola, environmental commitment is a top priority managed with the same responsibility as our production. Our continuous efforts in this area have allowed Upala Agrícola to stand out both nationally and internationally.

This section briefly outlines our primary environmental efforts, which enable us to exceptionally fulfill 12 of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in this area alone.

Surface Water Monitoring

We conduct physicochemical analyses to verify the correct application of our technological package. This allows us to maintain strict oversight and control over agrochemical applications, preventing impacts on water bodies and the surrounding community.

Waste Management

Proper classification, separation, and collection of waste are carried out across all areas. By ensuring appropriate management based on waste type, we foster environmental awareness and reduce waste at the source.

Blue Flag Program

We hold the Blue Flag award in both the Biodiversity and Agricultural categories. This highlights Upala Agrícola's efforts in forest, soil, and water resource conservation, while promoting a culture of resource optimization within the company. 

Environmental Education

Through visits to schools and colleges, we share valuable information on waste management and biodiversity conservation with future generations to build environmental awareness and sustainable practices for the benefit of society.

Biodiversity Promotion

We work through our corporate nursery, afforestation, reforestation, and the restoration of biological corridors. This includes biological connectivity, tree donations for environmental projects, watershed conservation, forest cover protection, water resource management, and flora and fauna inventories.

Hydration and Shade Protocol

Through medical check-ups, acclimatization processes, designated shade and rest areas, and the distribution of potable water and electrolytes, we reaffirm our commitment to our agricultural staff. We guarantee health and safety by providing a proper environment for their daily tasks.

 

Safe Mobility Program

We employ a strategy focused on reducing road accidents, promoting road safety awareness, encouraging proper driving behaviors, and fostering knowledge focused on safe mobility.

Agrochemical Management Program

We ensure the health of personnel working with agrochemicals by providing proper conditions and training in risk identification and mitigation, complemented by quarterly scheduled medical examinations.
