SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017 Packaging Waste The production of packaging waste – service packages delivered to customers and packages of all imported rawmaterials – is inevitable in our line of business. Therefore, and in order to correctly handle this kind of waste, we renewed our contract for thePackagingWasteManagement IntegratedSystemcoordinated by the Sociedade Ponto Verde, thus ensuring the cycle of take-back, recovery and recycling, and also the reduction of the volume of landfill-deposited waste. Equally important is the fact that allGroupunitsplayanactiverole in theselective separationofwaste (paper/cardboard, plastic/metal andglass), a taskperformed on a daily basis and without exception, in all restaurants and in every office.
