📋 Tender Overview
The National Water Authority (ANA) awarded the Blue Certificate to seven companies from different regions of the country, which developed water-responsible projects, and with which they managed to reduce, care for and efficiently use water, through the Water Footprint Program.
During the 10th delivery of the Blue Certificate, the entities certified for the first time were Tubos y Geosistemas del Perú S.A. (Arequipa); Siderúrgica del Perú S.A.A. (Chimbote); Inmobiliaria El Quinde S.A.C. (Ica); (Ancash); Grupo Fer.Cons S.A.C. (Puno); Compañía Minera Poderosa S.A. (La Libertad) and Minera Aurífera Retamas S.A. (La Libertad),
To achieve the Blue Certificate, these organizations complied with the commitments made at the beginning of the certification process, which consist of carrying out a project to reduce water consumption, as well as a shared value plan, the latter for the benefit of the environment where they operate.
The head of the National Water Authority, Juan Carlos Castro, highlighted the efforts of the companies participating in the program to carry out an integrated management and improvement in the efficiency of water resources, control their discharges and make use of wastewater, among other actions that improve the conditions of this resource in our country.
"Water resources are strategic, there is no project or activity that does not require water for its development. This leads us to have a very high responsibility in the care of water resources because we need to take advantage of them today, and also take precautions for the future. If water security is compromised, food security is compromised," he stressed.
