SIGAUS Forests

11,000 trees planted, 34 hectares reforested. Our commitment to the environment goes beyond our activity. For this reason, we made addition efforts such as the planting of trees, through the CSR 'SIGAUS Forest' project, to achieve greater environmental benefits and to compensate the emission of greenhouse gases, thus favouring the absorption of CO2 and the fight against climate change.
