United nations global compact
The United Nations Global Compact is an organisation that promotes the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and seeks to create an international movement of businesses aligned with the human, social and environmental rights principles. Caparrós signed this agreement and adhesion which is renewed every year with the United Nations Global Compact.
Conference of parts (COP 25)
CAPARRÓS NATURE participated in the 25th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on November 11, 2019. More than 25,000 representatives from 200 countries met in Madrid at IFEMA to reach agreements and commitments between nations to combat the effects of climate change.
COP26 ambition. Committed to the Glasgow Climate Summit
After having taken part as speakers at the COP25 last year, this year we adhered to the Declaration “Ambition COP26”, contributing joining voices to the success of the Glasgow Climate Summit.
Caparrós is the second company at national level to adhere to the ministry’s Sustainability code in its three tracks, social economic and environmental, and we do not want to stop being pioneers in this issue.
For that reason we have decided to be part of the virtual platform for social participation in Spain and Latin America at the COP26.
Carbon footprint Fight against climate change
CAPARRÓS NATURE is fully aware and acts accordingly with regards of the environment. For that reason the company is fully involved in the global trend to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and fight against climate change. To do so, since 2015 we have set in our internal policy the objective to know our carbon footprint and continuously reduce it.

Assessment A+
Each year we undergo a quality assessment of our organisation and issues regarding our social responsibility, with the aim to understand our capacity to manage the material risks of the social responsibility. To do so, we have used the SME Rating© to identify and prioritise the main risks of CAPARRÓS NATURE and its management..
This tool has identified, therefore, our Social Responsibility risks and their relevance, as well as analysed how CAPARRÓS NATURE identifies and manages its SR risks strategically.
The rating is given in a 6 character scale (A+, A, B+, B, C+, C). CAPARRÓS NATURE was given A+, being the A+ the best mark and C the least. A+ means that we have identified our SR risks and correctly managed the main ones according to the interests of our target groups.
