• Low-Impact Mobility: We maintain internal policies and incentive campaigns for the use of less polluting fuels from renewable sources (such as ethanol) and, in specific logistics scenarios, prioritize hybrid vehicles to reduce harm to the atmosphere.

We actively fight climate change through mitigation strategies and the awareness of our workforce. In line with SDG 13, VMI Security has structured two major fronts for the transition to a low-carbon economy:

• Full GHG Inventory and Decarbonization: We carry out a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory covering all scopes applicable to our operation. Based on these indicators, we map our emission sources and support environmental offset projects and strategic decarbonization plans across our processes.
• Climate Culture and Training: We promote internal campaigns, actions and interventions with periodic communications about the climate. We also offer specific training and an internal learning platform so that every employee has access to continuing environmental education and knows how to apply sustainable practices in their daily work.

VMI Security's commitment to the conservation of seas and marine ecosystems is reflected in the choice and management of our global logistics chain. In line with SDG 14, the company protects the oceans through rigorous transportation standards:
