1. It is determined that the company in general terms complies with environmental standards and it is evident that it is constantly improving so that in the future it will have all the necessary certifications for both the product and the environment. Because it is committed to self-sustainability, it is taken into account and applauded for the hard work they do for the environment and communities

2. Despite being a company with a long tradition among Colombians, leaves many good aspects to highlight in issues of social contribution thanks to its programs that benefit communities and in issues of efficiency and renewable energy, because although it is not necessary or forced, much of its energy comes from a solar source and its transformers benefit the environment by not having PCBs.

1. should have greater control over issues of separation at the source of solid waste that can be reused. The company has ecological jobs throughout the company and it is evident that they meet the standard, but workers are not very judicious when using them and end up mixing everything. For this, it would be very important to have more training in this aspect and to have a sanction for those who do not comply

2. To instill in the contractor worker greater respect for and compliance with the company's internal rules on industrial safety and the company's environmental management system and thus avoid non-compliance by them or any type of sanction or accident.
