We are pioneers in the circular economy
Sustainability
We provide society with the best solutions to care for life in a sustainable way. We meet current needs without compromising the resources of future generations.
Reduced environmental impact
Circular bioeconomy
The circular economy is our way of working and understanding the future. Our entire production model makes the most of every natural resource to extend its useful life and reduce waste to a minimum.
We have also optimised processes to use 100% renewable electricity, reuse 30% of the water in industrial facilities and reduce the consumption of auxiliary raw materials by means of recovery systems.

Sustainability Report
To keep our promise to continually support all types of life on Earth, we have undertaken a number of initiatives which we review in our Sustainability Report. For example, we have signed up to the SBTi global commitment. We are also reducing our carbon footprint to 30% by 2030. Additionally, we have 100% renewable electricity since 2024 and our goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. These aspirations also echo the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations.

Climate Strategy Report
With this document we want to emphasise our commitment to the fight against climate change through our Climate Strategy and thus move towards decarbonising our activity. To make this a reality, we set ambitious GHG emission reduction targets aligned with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations and based on the results of detailed analyses and quantifications of both risks and opportunities arising from climate change.
This document sets out our response to climate change and the targets we have achieved.
Social sustainability
We have an equality plan in place until 2026 to promote social inclusion and ensure equal opportunities.
Bioiberica has updated its working hours policy in order to promote work-life balance, strengthen its international customer service and improve the working environment. In the last year we have also held more than 500 training sessions with over 6,000 participants and we have established partnerships with different educational institutions that allow us to formalise agreements for internships at the company.
