Cofeseg, a manufacturer of quarry machinery, is taking a step forward in the value chain with the launch of a new environmental management and sustainability advisory service.
More than two years ago, Cofeseg became the first company in the industry to achieve triple certification in quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001) and energy efficiency (ISO 50001). Today, thanks to its partnership with Idexma, a strategic environmental and sustainability consultancy, Cofeseg is further strengthening its commitment to sustainable management in the extraction of natural stone, offering essential services aimed not only at complying with current regulations, but also at saving resources and achieving economic benefits.
Idexma, with more than 23 years of experience in environmental consulting at a national and international level, is specialized in the mining and industrial sector, providing the best solutions for compliance with legal requirements and saving resources (reducing operating costs). In addition, apart from covering all fields related to environmental and sustainability laws, Idexma offers an efficient service of dialogue with the corresponding administration; being a member of AEC (Spanish Association for Quality), Women in Mining & Industry Spain and soon of the Mine and Quarry Restoration Network.
The most demanded services in the quarry industry can be grouped into the following subcategories: Environmental authorizations, Urban licenses, Waste Management (characterization of mining waste), restoration plans and management of mining waste, comprehensive water management as well as environmental control and monitoring for compliance with environmental permits.
Among the different services, innovation in the recovery of mining spaces stands out, where Idexma, together with the University of Huelva and other strategic partners, is advancing in the “Design and application of Technosoils formulated with non-hazardous waste for the environmental recovery of mining spaces and the sealing of landfills.”
At Cofeseg, we are committed to a comprehensive service that goes beyond the simple sale of machinery. With this type of initiative, we aim to give a firm boost to our commitment to the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals; integrating them into our strategic line and transferring them to all levels within our value chain.
