IBERSOL Sustainability Report 2017

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE During the summer, measures are also taken to provide increased comfort. For instance: > East andwest-facingwindows are opened less, where it is difficult to control sunlight, by using portable shaders (curtains); > Use of sun protection systems by placing outdoor portable or permanent shaders (blinds that ensure suitable shading of south-facing façades). CO 2 Emissions We continue to be committed to reducing CO 2 emissions by seeking solutions which help minimise the impact greenhouse gases have on the environment. Compared to last year and considering the same number of stores, we, directly and indirectly, prevented 12 thousand tonnes of carbon dioxide (12,423) from polluting the atmosphere.
