Governor of Guanajuato, Libia Dennise Garcia Munoz Ledo, presented the “Clean Company” Environmental Certificate to Volkswagen of Mexico, for its plant in Guanajuato.

“In this Government of the People in Guanajuato, environmental protection is a great conviction. There cannot be viable development if the natural heritage of today’s and tomorrow’s generations is not protected at the same time. That is why, in this New Beginning, we believe in sustainable development, we believe that it is possible to achieve economic development by balancing it with social and environmental development,” said the Governor.

The Government of Guanajuato grants this recognition to organizations that voluntarily undergo environmental audits, meeting high standards in waste management, emissions and use of resources.

This recognition reflects Volkswagen Mexico’s commitment to caring for the environment and its contribution to sustainability in the State of Guanajuato.

The award was received by Holger Nester, President and CEO of Volkswagen Mexico, from Governor Libia Dennise.

“Guanajuato will always be proud to have the presence of companies of the stature and quality of Volkswagen, whose philosophy of social responsibility is expressed through actions and results. You can count on the commitment of the Government of the People to continue with these corporate co-responsibility programs, which benefit both the companies and the families of our state,” said the Governor.

The goal of the certificate is to promote responsible practices in companies by evaluating their processes to ensure sustainable operations.

The Volkswagen plant in Guanajuato joined revisions in 2017, achieving 100% compliance in aspects such as air, water, waste management and conservation of natural resources.

With the “Clean Company” certification, more than 376 thousand people were involved in sustainability activities, which allows for the improvement of their quality of life by providing cleaner air, water and soil.

Also the certificate gives added value to the companies that receive it, such as the reduction of operating costs and increased sustainability, improvement in brand positioning and generation of consumer loyalty, in addition to attracting new customers and investors, by offering a competitive advantage in the market.
