A VISION FOCUSED ON ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
CONSCIENTIOUS USE
OF WATER
The issue of water consumption was a very important point to consider in the construction project of the new plant, since we are located in a region of water scarcity, whose water supply is expensive and intermittent. Our annual consumption of 80 million liters could impact supply to local society.
With the implementation of the new factory in 2011, the new manufacturing process reduced water consumption by 90%. We started to reuse the water in a demineralized way in the boilers and in all other points of consumption of the factory such as bathrooms and changing rooms.
SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND NATURAL GAS SAVINGS
Our search for a more efficient production process was not limited to savings in water consumption.
We generate 90% of the electrical energy necessary for the operation of the plant, we use an energy matrix with low environmental impact
The new, more efficient manufacturing process brought a 51% savings in natural gas consumption.
WHAT IS THE “EU RECICLO” SEAL?
The Eureciclo seal certifies the reverse logistics of post-consumer packaging, through a platform for tracking invoices issued by cooperatives and recycling operators partners. Furthermore, through the concept of environmental offsetting, it ensures that the brands that carry it allocate resources for the development of the recycling chain, establishing itself as a solution for the National Solid Waste Policy, which determines the goal of 22% of reverse logistics of the packaging generated by the companies.
WE DO OUR PART, DO YOURS BY BUYING FROM COMPANIES THAT INVEST IN RECYCLING!
SESI/SENAI SCHOLL
In partnership with SESI/Senai, we created an Industrial Apprenticeship Program within the factory premises to offer technical training in the maintenance area. Every year, 20 new vacancies are offered with a workload of 20 hours/week and the course has a total duration of 13 months.
With 290 young people already graduated, this initiative has contributed to the qualification of the local workforce, generating new job opportunities and improving the socioeconomic conditions of many families.
Many young people trained by the program are currently part of our team and many others have been used in several industries in the region.
LUIS LINDEMBERG SCHOOL
Due to the commitment to educate the children of its employees and to avoid the use of products manufactured with the use of child labor, in November 1998 Refinaria Nacional de Sal S.A. Received the Child-Friendly Company certificate issued by the ABRINQ Foundation for the Rights of the Child.
Refinaria Nacional de Sal believes that its employees constitute the most important part of its assets.
In order to ensure its social well-being, and that of its family, in 1968 it created the Grêmio Recreativo e Cultural 1o de Maio (Recreational and Cultural Guild). The Guild started its activities with a literacy course for the employees, but soon started to teach their children. It was the beginning of the Luís Lindenberg School, named after the precursor of the salt industry in Cabo Frio.
