We are in the middle of a rural environment, we promote the local economy by buying from nearby producers, without intermediaries, we are committed to fair trade. Today sustainability and the creation of value chains in rural areas are essential.
At Cenador de Amós we are committed to respecting the seasonality of the organic products that we grow in our own orchard. We recycle, we separate our waste, we also have our own seedlings. We defend the zero kilometer philosophy, a local cuisine, which is committed to organic products and we tell the history of our territory through our gastronomic proposal. We are committed to a new operating model, which will give priority to our current commitment to the environment and renewable energies, zero carbon emissions, working from the value chain of its local producers, in order to generate a 360º movement, from the origin from the product to the final consumer.
Commitment to reweable energies
The new strategy establishes a demanding roadmap, with intermediate targets for reducing CO2 emissions, to continue advancing successfully. Our strategy is based on a bet that combines LPG and electricity. A new alliance stems from our concern to choose and unite with companies like Repsol to give us support and increase our commitment to the environment. We will be more efficient, we will increase our renewable generation targets, we will increase our production of products with a low, neutral or even negative carbon footprint, we will promote the circular economy, we will develop new energy solutions, we will promote cutting-edge projects that reduce the carbon footprint.
Thanks to the new alliance reached with Repsol, Cenador de Amós is going to start up the installation of recharging infrastructure for electric vehicles that, within the framework of our commitment to the environment and sustainability, will favor the reduction of polluting emissions and it will contribute to the fight against climate change, since the electricity supplied by Repsol for the electric vehicles of the Cenador de Amós will be 100% renewable.
Commitment to local producers
We understand social responsibility as the permanent search for excellence. Our commitment is to achieve responsible management of the resources in our environment, in collaboration with nearby farmers and artisans, with whom we share a mission and vision, carrying out our daily tasks with dedication, passion, sacrifice and love for what we do.
With our work philosophy we have managed to place our small town with 300 inhabitants on the map, we help maintain a network of local producers, we are committed to quality products km 0 and we give value to the cuisine and products of our area, thus becoming an element to take into account in the much-needed fight against the depopulation of small towns.
Eco-cultivation: without pesticides or chemical fertilizers
Cenador de Amós is committed to nearby greenhouses such as Eco-Tierra Mojada, with the experience of several generations of women and men passionately dedicated to growing vegetables and fruits using traditional and certified organic methods, which respect the balance of the environment, the life of the soil and the quality of the water. It has one hectare of land, part in the open air and part under the roof of ventilated greenhouses, which, in addition to protection from inclement weather, serves as a unit for collecting rainwater for irrigation. We align ourselves with producers who seek to restore the connection between the consumer and the origin of the food, favoring with their proximity a better knowledge and use of local resources, as is the case of the Tarruco greenhouse. Its field of action is conceived at a local level, which, in addition to reducing the environmental impact of long-distance transportation, allows products to be harvested at their optimum point of ripeness, restoring the flavor and freshness of vegetables grown with care in the vegetable plot.
Hydroponic cultivation
We are committed to pioneering companies such as Gota Viva thanks to its floating hydroponic cultivation system. The lettuces float in the water, their roots are totally free and they feed on the nutrients that are supplied to the environment. The PH, conductivity, temperature and oxygenation of the water, as well as the quality of the air, are controlled daily. No type of herbicide is used. As it is a closed and recirculating system, no waste is discharged into the environment and the amount of water required is the minimum for cultivation, this being only that captured from rainwater. The idea is to prioritize a very sustainable and respectful activity. The crop is 90 cm high and there are no physical barriers. No tractors or heavy machinery are used. Energy consumption is minimal and the next step is energy self-efficiency.
Commitment to the United Nations Global Compact, for a healthier planet
Cenador de Amós is aware that companies today must have identified our commitments to lobby groups and society as a whole in order to maintain and reinforce the trust of our clients, collaborators and professionals. Profitability and CSR are not discrepant concepts, but complementary and consistent.
