What is positive impact for Atarfil
At Atarfil we don’t settle for talking about sustainability: we measure our real impact. Like any industrial activity, ours generates an environmental footprint, and that’s why we quantify it and work to reduce it. At the same time, our geomembranes play an essential function: to prevent pollution from reaching the natural environment for decades.
For Atarfil, creating POSITIVE IMPACT means preventing that environmental damage.
“The best way to protect the environment is to prevent what protects it from failing”
The Positive Impact concept is not new, we have been for more than 25 years carefully bringing sustainability not only to our processes, but to our products, becoming aware of the environmental impact that engineering works have where our materials are used.
WE ARE A B CORP COMPANY
A company FOR the world
At Atarfil we have always believed that protecting what matters starts with how we do business. That’s why we have taken one step further and we have certified ourselves as a B Corp Company..
A global movement of companies that not only seek to be the best in the world, but the best FOR the world. Companies that measure our success not by economic results, but by our impact on people and on the planet.
We operate in more than 50 countries with a single technical, human and environmental standard. Being a B Corp confirms it: we are a company FOR the world.
B Corp focuses on analyzing five complete areas of the company: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Clients, not just the product. A complete look at how we do things, and we revalidate periodically.
For those who trust us, the certification means one thing: our commitment to people and the planet is not a statement of intentions, it is a responsibility. In a sector where failure is not an option, having a partner that accounts for its impact makes the difference.
What we have always been, now with the B in B Corp.
Proud to B.
The 3 Pillars
People
When containment works, no one notices it. If it fails, the entire environment suffers. We work to protect those who live, work and will grow near each project.
Planet
Safe containment in critical applications; landfills, mining, water, to prevent environmental damage that others would pay for tomorrow
Way of doing
We do not segment by markets, but by needs. The need to contain does not change from one country to another: what is at stake is always the same. That is why we maintain the same technical and ethical standard anywhere in the world.
CO2
We reduce our carbon footprint
Before talking about what we avoid, we take responsibility for what we generate. We have the carbon footprint certification from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition (we calculate, reduce and compensate). We went from 108.42 to 96.07 gr CO₂/kg manufactured between 2022 and 2023, maintaining it to this day. Supported by a solar plant of 1,000 kWp and clean energy sources.
