Innovation as a Driver of Climate Responsibility

During the seal award ceremony, Governor Tere Jiménez noted that climate responsibility has become a strategic investment that enhances companies’ global competitiveness: “Today, companies know how to produce, invest, and create jobs alongside the use of new energies and the reduction of emissions. Innovation is also reflected in climate responsibility,” stated the governor. For his part, Marco Ribera, Senior Manager of Environmental Strategy and Energy at Nissan Mexicana, reported that the company has achieved a 17.7% reduction in its indirect emissions and an 8.8% reduction in direct emissions. The executive emphasized that the commitment transcends technology: “Beyond technology and environmental programs, it is the employees who also promote these initiatives,” Ribera added. Finally, Sarahí Macías Alicea, Head of the Ministry of Sustainability, Environment, and Water, underscored that the transition towards low-carbon economies has moved beyond being a technical issue to consolidate as a strategic variant in the private sector. “Sustainability has ceased to be a technical issue and has become a strategic variant. While regulatory frameworks are being built, the private sector, civil society, and the scientific community are already acting,” she concluded.
