SAAM Terminals’ port terminals and logistics centre have earned International Renewable Energy (I-REC) certificates.
The San Antonio, Antofagasta, San Vicente, and Corral terminals, as well as the Puerto Montt logistics center, lowered their carbon footprint by 41 per cent compared to 2021 by using entirely on renewable energy sources for power.
As a result, they saved 10,522 tonnes of CO2, which is equivalent to the emissions of 2,290 standard autos.
