Our commitment towards clean energy and water preservation

Strategic ally for all those companies which core business is closely tied to production, without compromising natural resources

October 2023. As we have previously mentioned, Evolution Free Zone has incorporated a robust ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) plan from its inception, aimed at ensuring the sustainable operation of the companies based in our high-tech business park.

This is a national effort that has positioned us globally as a strategic ally for all those companies whose core business is closely tied to production, without compromising natural resources.

Some of the commitments that Costa Rica has undertaken include the promotion of sustainable tourism and the creation of protected areas, which cover around 26% of the country.

Additionally, Costa Rica generates almost 99% of its energy from clean sources , has implemented boasts cycling paths, and provides government incentives for electric vehicles , among other pollution-free mobility initiatives. focused on pollution-free mobility.

Considering this environmental strategy, Evolution Free Zone has incorporated into its plan a solar farm, EV charging stations an electric charging station and a smart transportation network. The investment in sustainable mobility aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will be carried out through suppliers that align with our company’s vision.

Regarding the management of water resources, the strategy focuses on two aspects:

1. Process efficiency: Using the least amount of the liquid in processes to be efficient in the use of potable water.

We are creating a park that incorporates technology in all aspects of production. That means there will be precise and calibrated measurements to ensure that our customers use the water they need,”says Álvaro Carballo President of CODE Development Group.

2. Support for aquifer recharge zone conservation processes.

The water in the free zone comes from Los Chorros, an area in the Grecia canton known for its natural beauty. Our operation ensures that all water intake sources are approved and supervised by regulatory authorities,” Carballo ” adds.

It is very important to calculate the true value of water and establish plans that, based on such measurement, may effectively contribute to the environment and the community. Furthermore, Evolution Free Zone maintains constant communication with community leaders, the Municipality of Grecia, and other important stakeholders in the area.

Reforestation is also crucial in water management. Recently, under an alliance reached in commemoration of Arbor Day in Costa Rica, employees of CODE Development Group, OKAY Industries, students, and residents of the communities of Cataluña and Tacares in Grecia, participated in the planting of native species with the goal of reforesting the El Achiote Interurban Biological Corridor.
