“Reimaging, recreate, restore”
This is the new theme of this year’s Environment Day 2021. This edition will mark the beginning of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, a global mission to revive billions of hectares, from forests to farmland, from the top of mountains to the depths of the sea.
Investing in ecosystems is investing in our future
Restoring, reducing and mitigating the environmental impact and the consumption of resources, these are the keys to the protection of the environment. For every euro invested in catering, you can expect at least between seven and thirty Euros in profits for society. And in this part, ROVI continues to do its bit. Examples of this are:
- This 2021 we have changed the treatment given to rejected medicines from the plants of Alcala de Henares and San Sebastian de los Reyes. It is now about energy recovery, recycling or recovery, rather than destruction. With this we continue to work on the goal of zero waste to landfill. Our goal for this year is to be able to perform this operation in 100% of the plants.
- We continue to offset CO2 emissions from fuel consumption through VERs (voluntary emission reduction) projects, aimed at preventing deforestation, protecting biodiversity and promoting sustainability in one of the lungs of our planet, the Amazon area. This restoration work has compensated for almost 6,000 tons of CO2, which would be equivalent to avoiding the felling of 35,400 mature trees.
- 100% of the electricity consumption of our plants is of renewable origin and, since this year, our plants in Alcala de Henares and Granada have photovoltaic power generation stations. With this, we will stop emitting about 6,400 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere
With all this action, ROVI joins the global task of reversing the damage caused, going from exploiting nature to curing it. We will continue to work year after year with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality, demonstrating their social responsibility and concern for climate change.

But this work that ROVI initiates is in everyone’s hands. Therefore, ROVI wants to involve all its employees in this change of mentality and motivate them to take it to the small gestures of the day to day. To start a purchase with a reduction of unnecessary plastics and encourage responsible consumption, ROVI gives you a sustainably produced bag, a reusable substitute for single-use bags in the supermarket.

It is our chance to correct course.
