La integridad
es la base de

nuestras
relaciones

Our decisions and actions are closely tied to ethical behaviour, which is in turn guided by the company’s own code of conduct. Our work is based on honesty, on a respect for rules - and for safety. Integrity is the foundation of our relationships, it is a base that serves to build trust between the organization, our employees, our shareholders, our clients and our suppliers.

The development of our business is governed by established laws and regulations, while we seek to ensure that the interests of society are never disregarded. We apply zero-tolerance with respect to malpractice, our aim is to work as leaders in the sector. We respect and uphold the law and treat all our clients fairly and with due diligence in order to offer the highest quality in all our services.

Inclusion, respect and tolerance are all present in our relationships, and the same is true for transparency and the principle of equality and non-discrimination, we reject all and any forms of harassment in the workplace.

Putting people first

People come first in everything we do, and this starts with our own employees, and includes our clients and all members of society. We believe that only by putting people first, and treating them with respect, will we be able to bring out the best in all of our team.

We respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, with international labour-regulations and social standards, and we are happy to offer our partners help when it comes to fulfilling their responsibilities in this respect.

Wherever we carry out our activities, we act responsibly, while applying the highest safety standards and ensuring that the environment is respected. Our external relationships, whether among organizations, or with stakeholders, are also based on professional respect, cordiality and collaboration.

Adaptarnos es nuestra apuesta para crecer

Our search for new solutions never stops, our aim is to ensure rapid adaptation to the demands of our clients and society itself, while maintaining our respect for humanity and the planet. We apply our capabilities with the aim of ensuring flexibility, innovation and creativity.

We are well-aware of the impact of business digitization on our employees, clients and society as a whole, and we are committed to moving with this transformation in an ethical and responsible way to the benefit of all.

Solo avanzamos si cuidamos nuestro entorno

Sustainability is a first-line company priority, it is a concept that embraces awareness and responsibility with respect to people, the planet and our own durability. It is clear to us that the well-being of future generations depends on the application of this philosophy.

Our activities have a positive impact on society, as we store essential products for the proper development of many vital economic areas. As a result, we are currently working on meeting ambitious challenges in order to reduce our environmental footprint by facilitating energy transition and by engaging in projects related to the circular economy.

We offer solutions that are designed to make optimum use of those resources available today and in the future, in addition to providing aid in overcoming global challenges.
