Environmental, Social and Governance
Committed
by vocation
The group’s social and environmental development and corporate transparency form a fundamental part of Manolet’s policies and commitment to a better, cleaner, more efficient, more engaged, fairer and, ultimately, more sustainable society and world.
Sustainability
Manolet Almonds’ ESG model is a living project, constantly evolving towards new horizons in environmental, social and labour development, which presents us with new challenges and short-, medium- and long-term objectives every day.
environmental
We monitor and work every day to reduce our carbon footprint and our environmental impact by implementing policies on energy and water efficiency and recycling.
Our circular economy model, which is based on achieving zero waste in our production, has led us to diversify our products into other sectors such as livestock farming and the agro-industrial sector (in the biomass and agricultural by-product recovery sub-sector).
Commitment and
climate action plan
At Manolet Almonds, we recognise that managing our environmental impact responsibly is an integral part of being a well-run, future-proof business. We are therefore committed to contributing to the global goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C by incorporating environmental improvement criteria into the way we work and into our business decisions.
How we operate

How we manage it
The Plan forms part of the company’s management system and is overseen by senior management. To this end:
Objectives, actions and those responsible are set out for the main areas for improvement.
Environmental indicators and the progress of planned actions are monitored on a regular basis.
The necessary human, technical and financial resources are allocated to its development.
The plan is reviewed regularly to incorporate new opportunities for improvement.
We work alongside our stakeholders
Improving environmental performance requires the cooperation of all stakeholders. Therefore:
We encourage our employees to get involved through training and environmental awareness initiatives.
We work with suppliers and farmers to promote more sustainable practices.
We share our commitment with our customers and other stakeholders, promoting a culture of continuous improvement and environmental responsibility.
Transparency
Manolet Almonds will periodically review this Climate Action Plan and report publicly on its progress, whilst maintaining a commitment to transparency and continuous improvement towards all its stakeholders.
Use of FSC cardboard boxes
The cardboard boxes that we use are made exclusively of materials certificated by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), guaranteeing that the paper comes from forests managed in a sustainable and responsible way.
This certification ensures that the production process protects biodiversity, avoiding illegal deforestation and respecting the rights of local communities.
circular economy
the cycle of life
Committed from the origin, all our raw materials are almonds sourced from Spain, which translates into a significant reduction in the carbon footprint associated with transport and a major boost to local economies.
processing and reuse
The transformation processes are powered by clean energy generated by our photovoltaic panel installations, while the waste resulting from production, almond shells and green husks, are reused as biomass, a valuable source of energy that provides up to 4,750 Kcal per kg, and as nutritious feed for ruminant livestock.
balance
The pursuit of balance – economic, environmental and social – requires exquisite care in personal relationships, giving more than we consume and establishing synergies that help us improve.
biomass
Almond shells are a valuable source of energy, biomass.
Using the shells as fuel provides up to 4,750 Kcal per kg.
cattle feed
The husk of the almond provides nutritious feed for ruminant livestock.
the fruit of our labor
An almond of exceptional quality with a unique flavour and texture.
food security
Food security, the origin of our raw materials and the compliance with the current regulations are a sine qua non condition in our products. Certifying that our products comply with the most rigurous international laws is not a compromise, but a guarantee.
social
Our employees and the society that welcomes us are very important to us. That is why we implement a workplace wellbeing and safety policy and work to ensure that it reaches every link in the Manolet Almonds work chain.

commitment

CIMA
As part of our efforts to have a positive impact on society, we are pleased to announce we have reached a collaboration agreement with the University of Navarra Applied Medical Research Center (CIMA) to support research on childhood cancer.
CIMA is an internationally renowned biomedic research center, and their work in the field of pediatric oncology is key to the development of new treatments that improve the quality of life of affected children and their families.
Each scientific breakthrough opens the door to more efficient treatments. And the collaboration between institutions, researchers and companies is key to this process: by bringing together efforts and resources, we can speed up innovation and move closer, together, to a more hopeful future.
SURG FOR ALL
We are supporting the project ‘Surgery for All: Let’s Build Liberia’s Healthcare Future Together’ as part of our social commitment.
