Since 2025 it has operated on 100 percent renewable electricity, 20 percent of it self-generated, manages packaging waste with the GENCI collective scheme and has received NextGenerationEU funding for an efficient and sustainable mobility project. It takes part in industry associations such as TEDAE and the Andalusian aerospace cluster, and offers a presentation, brochure and video for download.
