Almost all major global challenges depend on energy. Food production to combat hunger, the fight against climate change, job creation... universal access to electrical energy is essential to face all these challenges, preferably access to clean and sustainable energy. Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency by 2030. That is one of the goals set in the seventh of the Sustainable Development Goals, on affordable and non-polluting energy. Achieving this goal depends on the combined efforts of governments and companies, which allow expanding infrastructure and improving technology to have modern and environmentally friendly energy services. Efforts in favor of electric energy are multiple and varied, but did you know that the largest clean energy system in South America exists thanks to the efforts of a Mexican company? Companies committed to clean energy: Grupo Bimbo A strong commitment to the environment and the well-being of its communities has characterized Grupo Bimbo practically always.
Its efforts to promote the development of clean energy are notable. In Mexico, a total of 36 new energy efficiency projects were launched in 10 plants during 2018. One of these systems is the Ecuador Mobile Number List solar roof installed on the corporate building, made up of 308 solar panels, and capable of providing 20% of the energy that consumes the installation. The brand is close to inaugurating the largest solar roof in Mexico and the second in Latin America; But their efforts don't stop there. In Chile, the largest clean energy system in South America has already been inaugurated. The largest clean energy system in South America: Grupo Bimbo Ideal, the company's Chilean subsidiary, inaugurated the photovoltaic energy self-supply system that will allow the generation of 3 gigawatt-hours per year and the mitigation of 1,310 tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The above is equivalent to planting an area of more than 88,870 trees. The project, which is part of the actions that IDEAL SA is developing in the South American country, constitutes the largest private photovoltaic roof, built on a warehouse, in the country and the largest in South America.
The development of the self-supply system was carried out in collaboration with Enlight, the largest solar energy system company for homes and businesses in Mexico with a presence in Chile. “We believe that there is no true development if it is not sustainable. To promote the changes we need, conviction, leadership and action are required to promote these transformations,” emphasized the Minister of the Environment, Carolina Schmidt, during the inauguration. He added that Bimbo's effort is a clear example of this leadership and conviction, which has to come from all sectors. For his part, the deputy general director of Grupo BIMBO, Rafael Pamias, pointed out that the inauguration of this system is a tangible example of how companies can deliver concrete solutions and generate sustainable value in the places where they operate. We are convinced that Chile is the right country to continue growing sustainably, which we hope will be replicated by the rest of the companies, not only in the region, but also in the rest of the world.
