In line with Grupo DESC’s sustainability strategy, at Kekén we apply a sustainable pig farming model in all our facilities, as well as in our processes and products, in order to consolidate a production chain based on three dimensions with human rights at its center.
Our production and growth are closely linked to a harmonious coexistence with the environment, the preservation and responsible use of natural resources.
We place special emphasis on the responsible use of our water resources with wastewater treatment systems in our industrial plants and production centers, positioning ourselves as pioneers in the country in the use of eco-technology and continuous process improvement.
As part of the policies that guarantee harmony between our operations and wildlife, we set aside more than 15,000 hectares for the protection, conservation and study of flora and fauna species. Areas that have become an important refuge for endemic and migratory species, and even catalogued as important for conservation according to NOM-059 SEMARNAT.
The innovation and technification of the processes on our farms allows the generation of renewable energy with an equivalent of 15% of the electrical energy used on the farm.
Through continuous dialogue and programs focused on the promotion of wellbeing and culture in the communities, we carry out various programs for the promotion of human rights, with special emphasis on the right to health and education.
We have several Health Care Centers, mobile clinics and health fairs with delivery of medicines in communities of Yucatan, as well as programs to promote sports and addiction prevention.
One of the commitments we have at Kekén is the reduction of inequalities, we implement various programs that aim to support the economy of families in the communities where we are present, as well as labor inclusion for people with disabilities and opportunities for women.
We are active promoters of the Circular Economy, interrelating environmental, social and economic aspects in the optimization of resources with cardboard recycling activities in our stores, promoting beekeepers and local farmers with inputs and spaces from our farms.
The 2030 Agenda is a global plan made up of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that seek to guide the actions of all countries towards prosperity and the fulfillment of human rights. At Kekén, we focus our efforts on three main areas: Environment, Community and Development based on eleven specific SDGs:
