We at Santa Rita Estates have built our strategy on the definition of sustainability published by the Brundtland Commission, which states that “Sustainable development is the kind of development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” This perspective means that sustainability comprises three key pillars: environmental, social, and economic.

Thus, sustainability is defined as the confluence between being environmentally friendly, socially equitable, and economically viable. Sustainability is a continuous improvement process: a pathway, not a destination.

Based on the definition adopted, Santa Rita operates a Sustainability Policy that establishes our general guidelines, shared throughout the company and amongst interested parties.
