Energy Efficiency and Climate Change​s

Energy efficiency is one of the strategic pillars of sustainability at Luís Simões. Since 2007, the Group has developed its sustainability strategy, making an unequivocal commitment to finding effective solutions that reduce the direct impact of its operations on the environment, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.​

Since 2017, we have accounted for direct GHG emissions (scopes 1 and 2), and since 2021 we have accounted for our global scope 3 emissions, which makes it possible to demonstrate Luís Simões’ carbon footprint (its environmental impact in carbon).​
