Once the audit is carried out, it is determined that the company does not have a defined management system, so far it is in the process of implementing the wastewater treatment plant, which is a pilot test of the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Nariño (Corponariño), so all wastewater generated as water with detergent, water with quaternary ammonium, chlorine and serum go directly to a stream that is near the company without any treatment, which can lead to to health problems since several communities close to the company are supplied from this creek, with the exception of serum, which, through direct infiltration, leads to the pastures to be used as fertilizer.

With respect to the issue of solid waste, it is evident that a separation is made at the source, that is, they separate cardboard, plastic and also expired products, such as yogurt, which use it as fertilizer for the green areas of the company.

The company previously had ACPM boilers to carry out the milk
and yogurt pasteurization processes, but due to the large atmospheric
emissions, it was decided to replace the gas boilers that emit less pollution,
however, some degree of contamination of the air, since it emits gases such as
carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides that are offensive to the environment. Other
machines apart from boilers, such as the ice bank and packaging generate
hearing pollution due to the high level of noise they cause.

Within the facilities, in the yogurt making processes, leaks of juices and cheeses are evident, in addition the pipes have a square shape that facilitates the proliferation of bacteria in the corners. As for the operators, it is clear that they do not have the proper personal implementation, some officials were working without gloves, without a mask and without a cap. The rooms of each of the processes do not have a footprint for each manufacturing area, which can cause bacteria to enter the processing areas.
