Chapitres Responsables Program

The new program has three parts. The first will be a carbon footprint calendar to be created in the form of a digital platform, allowing publishers to measure the carbon emissions of each work published. A life-cycle analysis is next, monitoring “the individual trajectory of two printed works and their digital environment, in an attempt to support decision-making and modes by which environmental performance can be improved. Finally training will be the third and final element.

Cosecha de lluvia

Invertimos en un sistema de cosecha de lluvia, que permite mediante la captación, filtrado, almacenamiento y distribución, usar el agua de lluvia en nuestras áreas comunes. Además de la bomba eléctrica, instalamos una bici bomba, para distribuir el agua por pedaleo, con el fin de hacer actividades recreativas con el personal.
Con ello aprendimos sobre el costo de llevar agua a los hogares, disminuimos el uso del agua que provee la Ciudad de México y contribuimos al bienestar del personal.

 

We invested in a rainwater harvesting system, which allows us to use rainwater in our common areas through collection, filtering, storage and distribution. In addition to the electric pump, we installed a bicycle pump to distribute water by pedaling, in order to do recreational activities with the staff.
With this, we learned about the cost of bringing water to homes, we reduced the use of water provided by Mexico City and we contributed to the well-being of the staff.
