We want to ensure that environmental aspects are present in all our daily decisions and make a difference because, in a situation of extreme crisis, every decision adds up, every action counts
Ensuring proper management of water resources
Water is an essential resource in all of Ferrer’s production plants. To take proper care of it, we apply prevention, reuse and recovery measures wherever possible and regularly monitor both the water consumed and the wastewater generated.
In 2022, we took various measures at our production centres to establish mechanisms for monitoring, reducing and reusing water resources:
Sant Cugat Pharmaceutical Plant
2 circuits with open, high-capacity industrial cold water tanks for air-conditioning are now closed circuits.
Improvements and repairs to DHW and DCW circuits, eliminating damaged and unusable sections of the pipeline.
Monitoring of consumption through water meters on the main water lines.
Optimisation/stoppage of the old osmosis water generation plant (low performance due to obsolescence).
Sant Feliu de Buixalleu Logistics Centre
In 2022, a new greywater treatment system was installed to reuse water from sinks, washbasins and showers.
In this way, the treated water is used to refill the toilets after flushing.
