Sustainable quality

Working on promoting a culture of sustainability

At Cafés Baqué, with the aim of improving our overall performance and establishing sustainable development actions, we have taken the strategic decision to implement an Integrated Management System that pursues the following objectives:

  • Promoting quality and food safety at Cafés Baqué through the implementation, maintenance and improvement of the food safety system, meeting society’s expectations in terms of product and service quality, transparency and responsibility.
  • Achieving continuous environmental improvement, going beyond environmental legislation, is one of our challenges for which, on an annual basis, we will define and review environmental objectives, goals and programmes to reduce the main aspects. To do so, we will conduct our activity from a perspective of environmental protection, promoting a culture of sustainability among our staff and trying to encourage our suppliers to use resources properly and prevent any type of contamination or impairment of ecosystems.
  • With the aim of continuing to guarantee our customers’ satisfaction in the future, and of taking responsibility in terms of our surroundings, we are looking to create a fair and sustained economic development, thus generating development opportunities in the community.

In pursuing these objectives and, in particular, since gaining the certification in ISO 9001 systems in 2001 and the certification in the ISO 14001 system in 2011, significant improvement has been achieved in a number of areas:

  • Continuous improvement of our processes and products.
  • Automation of many of our processes.
  • Reduction in fuel consumption of our fleet.
  • Reduction in packaging materials per ton of production.
  • Reduction in energy consumption at our facilities.
  • Recovery of more than 80% of our waste.
