Climate Strategy

True development is only possible when it is sustainable.

We are actively advancing our Mitigation, Adaptation, and Resilience Strategy, focusing on two critical areas: reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions into the atmosphere, and building and strengthening the adaptation and resilience of our infrastructure and operations to the impacts of climate change.

Mitigation Efforts

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

Understanding the imperative to minimize our environmental impact, we've implemented a comprehensive strategy across all business units to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This includes rigorous assessments of our emissions, adhering to international protocols like the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1:2018, encompassing:

Scope 1 Emissions

Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, which have seen fluctuations due to changes in fuel consumption.

ahorro d energía

Scope 2 Emissions

Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy, decreased through the expanded use of renewable energy sources.

Scope 3 Emissions

Other indirect emissions from activities such as customer emissions, material used in road maintenance, and waste management.

This process involved identifying and correcting errors, completing missing records, and standardising reporting criteria. As a result, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions figures, as well as the total, have been updated and adjusted.

Emissions intensity

We assess emissions intensity across each of our Business Units, allowing us to identify patterns and adopt practices better suited to operational levels. This approach strengthens our continuous improvement strategies by promoting emissions reductions without compromising efficiency and ensuring alignment with the organisation’s financial goals.

GHG reduction goals

Our Scope 1 and 2 GHG reduction target is

by 2030.
0 %

And to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

Main mitigation measures

Scope 1:

  • We implemented energy efficiency initiatives through technical-economic driving training, which allowed us to raise awareness among personnel with assigned vehicles about best driving practices that increase fuel consumption efficiency.
  • We installed catalytic converters on cranes and fixed equipment at our marine terminals (TCT and TMS) to reduce emissions.
  •  

Scope 2: 

  • We installed photovoltaic systems in A35, AP, CEM, NP and PI. 
  • We made significant progress in the supply of renewable energy, mainly in TCT.

Adaptation and resilience strategy

Building climate resilience

Our proactive approach enables us to anticipate and respond to the challenges posed by extreme weather events and shifting climate patterns. We consistently enhance our Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience Strategy, based on three fundamental pillars that steer our operations:

Risk management.

Aleatica’s Climate Change Adaptation Management System (SGACC, by its acronym in Spanish).

Climate awareness and capacity building.

Strategies to prevent, mitigate and address challenges

Risk management and disaster recovery

Increase the preparedness of Business Units to respond and adapt to climate risks.

Capacity building and climate awareness

Reducing gaps in adaptive capacity in climate action.

Local and regional resilience

Increasing resilience in the socio-environmental systems in which they operate through robust multi-stakeholder collaboration platforms.

Adaptation management system

Adopting an adaptive management approach to incorporate new knowledge and learning for climate action.

In 2024, flooding in the Chalco area of the State of Mexico caused an incident on the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense, impacting several communities. It is important to highlight that we responded promptly, providing support through donations and volunteer activities to meet the needs of those affected.


Additionally, in Spain, several towns in Valencia were affected by the upper-tropospheric cut-off low environmental disaster, also known as DANA (by its acronym in Spanish that means Isolated Depression at High Levels). In this case too, we responded in a timely manner through donations and volunteering, providing support to the affected communities.

These measures are designed to prevent, reduce, and address the risks, thereby enhancing our overall resilience to climate-related challenges.

To explore more about our Climate Strategy read our 2024 Climate Change Report based on the TCFD recommendations.

Sustainable resource management

Efficient use of energy, water, and materials

At Aleatica, we prioritize the sustainable management of natural resources to ensure our operations are efficient and environmentally responsible. Our strategies focus on conserving energy, optimizing water use, and reducing waste, aligning with our goal to minimize our environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy

Enhancing energy efficiency

The urgency of transitioning to renewable energy and improving energy efficiency aligns with our commitment to sustainability and operational cost reduction. These measures are crucial not only for combating climate change but also for enhancing our competitiveness.

We conducted a feasibility analysis for the implementation of energy efficiency projects at M6toll and TMS Alicante, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.

Fuel consumption by type (liters)

We implemented a technical-economic driving course to raise awareness among employees with assigned vehicles, guiding them toward best practices for fuel savings, safer and more efficient driving, and reduced environmental impact on the North Urban Highway and Bicentennial Viaduct.

We implemented a comprehensive energy efficiency and training project in ports, focusing on proper fuel management and consumption.

Transition to clean and renewable energies

Advancing renewable energy initiatives

In line with our Scope 2 emissions reduction objectives, we adopt strategies to enhance solar energy generation at the photovoltaic stations across our Business Units.

In 2024, we installed photovoltaic panels and solar stations at the A35 Brebemi, Viaducto Bicentenario (VB), Autopista Urbana Norte (AUN), Amozoc-Perote (AP) and Circuito Exterior Mexiquense (CEM) Business Units.

Sustainable mobility

The integration of advanced technologies, the promotion of clean transport, and the modernisation of infrastructure are key pillars of our strategy, reaffirming our commitment to developing solutions that transform mobility and deliver a positive impact on society.

Our commitment to sustainable mobility is exemplified by initiatives like TeleVía’s EcoTag program. Launched in 2017, EcoTag incentivizes the use of hybrid and electric vehicles by offering a 20% toll discount on Mexico City’s urban highways.

Key achievements of the EcoTag program:

Increased adoption

The program saw a 44% increase in EcoTag transactions over the past year.

Emissions reduction

this increase in the use of eco-friendly vehicles has led to a significant decrease in emissions, reducing emissions by 106.62 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), a 41% increase compared to the previous period.

Embracing a circular economy

We recognize that efficient waste management is essential for environmental sustainability. We are committed to adopting a circular economy model, focusing on maximizing resource use and minimizing waste.

Our approach encompasses waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery to protect natural resources, combat climate change, and foster a sustainable future.

Non-Hazardous Waste

This includes everyday materials like paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metals, food waste, and organic matter. While these materials pose less risk to health or the environment, we apply rigorous management practices to minimize their impact and promote recovery.

We implement significant and responsible environmental practices. Our Business Units have integrated key individual actions in waste management, such as:

  • The circular economy programme focuses on providing training and raising awareness to reduce total waste generation and promote effective segregation.
  • Best practices in waste recovery: initiatives to ensure reuse and divert waste from landfills.
  • Strategic partnerships: collaborations with third parties for waste reuse and recycling

4During 2024, a review of materials, waste, and water data was conducted for all business units, which led to an update of data from previous years.

 

Achieving Recovery Goal

Employee Education

We integrate training on circular economy principles into our processes, enhancing employee understanding and involvement in sustainability practices.
