At Amino, sustainability is not just a trend — it’s a commitment that drives us every day. We take pride in being part of the polyurethane (PU) sector, not only by offering innovative solutions but also by leading responsible practices that meet the growing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) demands.
With the global market increasingly focused on these practices, especially in regions like Europe, we have embraced sustainability as a strategic pillar in all our operations, from product development to caring for our employees.
Integrating Sustainability into Our Management
Recently, we made significant changes to our organizational structure and the way we manage our operations. Our transition from the Quality Management System (QMS) to the Integrated Management System (IMS) was a milestone.
Why did we do this?
The IMS expands our focus beyond quality, incorporating environment, health, and safety. This enables us to manage more comprehensively and align with market needs and global regulations.
Strengthening the Team: Today, we have ESG specialists dedicated exclusively to sustainability initiatives, ensuring that we meet and exceed the expectations of our clients and partners.
These changes prepare us for evolving environmental legislation, such as carbon emission targets, while also strengthening our competitiveness in demanding markets like Europe.
Clean Energy and Modernization
At Amino, we believe sustainability starts at home. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in technologies that help us reduce our environmental impact.
100% Clean Energy:
All the energy we use comes from the Free Energy Market, meaning it is certified as clean and renewable, such as solar and wind. This is a crucial step in reducing our carbon footprint.
Electric Forklifts:
We have replaced forklifts powered by fossil fuels with electric models that use this clean energy. This investment highlights our commitment to modernizing operations with environmental responsibility.
Advanced Waste Management
We understand the importance of properly disposing of the waste we generate. That’s why we use co-processing technology, one of the most advanced practices for industrial waste management.
How does it work?
Liquid and solid waste is transformed into alternative fuels used in cement kilns. This reduces reliance on fossil fuels and ensures that waste is disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
Certified Process:
The entire process is certified, ensuring that we adhere to best practices and meet regulations.
This practice benefits not only the environment but also reinforces our commitment to sustainable innovation.
Our Social and Ethical Commitment
Sustainability goes beyond the environment. We believe in the importance of caring for people and maintaining ethical governance.
Employee Well-being:
Our “Star Bem” program is a platform that promotes health and quality of life, ensuring that our employees feel valued and supported.
Community Actions:
We actively participate in social initiatives, such as donations to organizations like APAE, reinforcing our positive impact on the community.
Strong Governance:
We have a robust Code of Ethics and continuously strive to enhance transparency and responsibility in all our actions.
Looking Toward the Future
At Amino, we believe sustainability is synonymous with innovation. Every step we take today is aimed at building a better future for the next generations. Whether through investing in clean energy, modernizing our processes, or promoting social well-being, we are committed to integrating economic growth with environmental and social responsibility.
Our goal is to set an example of how the polyurethane sector can grow sustainably, delivering value to our clients, employees, and the planet. Together, we will continue to innovate, lead, and build a more responsible and balanced future. After all, sustainability is not just what we do — it’s part of who we are.
