Basing our operations on the 10 principles of fair trade, which guarantee equitable benefits for all parties involved in the production process, the company has been certified by Peru Fair Trade since 2020. To have this certification, we have demonstrated that our production activities involve responsible actions for our employees, society and the environment; so that a chain of mutual benefit is created between them.
At Michell we care about implementing measures that allow us to identify and take actions regarding the impact that the company generates on the environment.
Our first step in doing so was the first measurement of our Carbon Footprint according to the international standard which was finished in May 2022. The object of this measurement was to quantify our direct and indirect CO2 emissions, including the breeding of alpacas, production processes, transport of personnel, travels, electricity, transport of materials, among others. The measurement of the carbon footprint is the base of a series of strategies that we are setting to offset our emissions in the short, medium and long term.
