Both in environmental area and labor practices & human rights\u2019 area, the company has improved its previous scores by 10 points, reaching, respectively, 90 and 80.<\/p>\n

Progress in these two areas has enabled Hinojosa to further improve this year the overall score and position itself in the top 3% of all companies. The improvement in the environmental area is due, among other things,\u00a0to the validation of the emissions reduction targets and to achieving the Net-Zero Standard in 2050, as part of the SBTi (Science Based Target initiative).<\/p>\n

Some of the company\u2019s commitments in this area include achieving a 60% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 42% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, in addition to using 100% of its electricity from renewable sources.

During 2023, the company reduced emissions by 16% compared to the previous year.\u00a0This outstanding reduction of carbon footprint was also followed by a waste recovery rate over 95% and a 7% increase in the energy used for production from renewable sources, reaching\u00a0\u200b\u200b<\/span>71% of\u200b\u200b<\/span> the total energy used. Hinojosa\u2019s efforts to generate a positive impact in labor practices and human rights has also been recognized by EcoVadis<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The expansion and consolidation of its FP Dual program or the creation of Hinojosa Cathedra together with Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia are some of the most relevant initiatives. In addition, the commitment of all company\u2019s employees to comply with the MSH (Hinojosa Safety Model) has led to an almost fifty percent reduction in global occupational injuries.<\/p>\n

EcoVadis corporate sustainability ratings assess each company based on its size, location and business area. More than 90,000 companies are rated internationally, receiving scores between 0 and 100 and in case their performance excels, EcoVadis will grant medals.\u00a0After winning a bronze medal in 2020 and a silver medal in 2021, Hinojosa has now three consecutive gold medals in 2022, 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n
