SuKarne® Environmental Leadership
SuKarne® Michoacán plant and Monterrey plant, have received recognition for
Environmental Leadership for Competitiveness from SEMARNAT and Profepa as
companies who decide to improve their environmental performance through
eco-efficiency projects. It is a voluntary program that SuKarne® has conducted in
Culiacán and Mexicali, reaffirming the company's Sustainable commitment.
The participation of our fellow Monterrey and Michoacán in conjunction with our
value chain (suppliers), generated innovative projects that could pose environmental
annual savings by 2667.14 ton CO2. Equivalent to that of stopping 519 circulating
vehicles in a year traveling a distance of 300,000 km.

Save on energy
with the use of LED lights
«The earth is not an inheritance
of our fathers, but a borrowing
of our children»
The SuKarne® Environmental Commitment
is to use innovative technologies across the
supply chain, to care for non-renewable natural resources through sustainable projects
that preserve natural conditions of water, soil
and air.
In 2012, the company started in the areas of
slaughter and deboning in Culiacán, Mexicali,
Monterrey and Michoacán replacing ceiling
lamps with 350 metal halide to LED lighting
technology.
Ceiling lamps were replaced with 400 watts,
while requiring only 100 LED watts shining
the same light intensity, making a weekly
savings of 17,640 kWh, which in economic
terms represent $24.212 per week, leaving
8.77 ton CO2E issue.
