IBERSOL | Annual Report 2021

Message from the Chairman of the Board practices policies in resource and residue management practices, as well as in separating and reusing generated residues, investing in re- newable energies with a strong reduction of energy consumption and the subsequent impact in the decrease of CO2 emissions, preventing the emission of 10 thousand tonnes. To this end, the Group restruc- tured the teams, the energy consumed, supplies, products, waste and, above all, it internalised a high concern with process changes and forms of operation which translates into an active adoption of sustainability and a circular economy. Ibersol expects 2022 to be a year of great challenges, both due to the effects of the pandemic on consumer behaviour and their con- fidence, and due to geopolitical tension and its global economic impacts. These is why we have a determined outlook on the future, viewing the circumstances and subsequent readjustment from a stra- tegic and tactical perspective. 2022 will be a very challenging year, with very high levels of uncer- tainty. Once again, we have the strength, determination and means to demonstrate our resilience, which is why we are counting on the support and dedication of all those who have demonstrated their recognition and preference for our Group. This includes all our stake- holders, customers, staff, partners, suppliers, investors, and civil so- ciety. 8
