IBERSOL | Integrated Management Report 2022

ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE ACTION Separation and Selective Forwarding The separation and selective forwarding of waste is ensured daily in all the Group’s restaurants and offices, thus guaranteeing an active role in responsible waste management. This practice includes the separation of paper/cardboard, plastic/metal and glass for correct forwarding. The Group maintains its contract of membership of the Integrated Packaging Waste Management System, coordinated by Sociedade Ponto Verde, to guarantee recycling, recovery and a reduction in the volume of waste deposited in landfills. Also, as a form of communication and appeal to consumer responsibil- ity for selective separation, the Group has been reinforcing the place- ment of messages and iconography on service packaging to ensure that consumers correctly dispose of packaging waste when it reaches the end of its life cycle. This approach contributes to the recovery of materials and energy and avoids the conventional production of materials and their loss in land- fill or incineration. Food Oils 1200 tonnes of used cooking oil recovered The production of waste cooking oil continued to be managed and monitored, ensuring that 100% of the waste produced is forwarded, recycled and recovered. We direct all used cooking oil to biodiesel production, through an operator licensed to collect, transport and valorise used cooking oil. All our restaurants have a certificate of used cooking oil collection and in 2022, approximately 1200 tonnes of used cooking oil were sent for biodiesel production. 188
