LIMA EXPRESA, empresa de VINCI Highways y concesionaria de la Vía de Evitamiento y la vía expresa Línea Amarilla, presentó su Reporte de Sostenibilidad 2022 y mostró importantes avances en su misión de promover la "movilidad positiva" a través de tres ejes fundamentales: Movilidad segura, compromiso con la ciudad y el ambiente y transparencia y talento.

About the presentation of the report, Janis Rey, General Manager of LIMA EXPRESS and CEO of VINCI Highways Peru commented that the company's vision is to make Lima a more connected and sustainable city. For that reason, its commitment to positive mobility incorporates all dimensions of sustainability. The more companies and allied entities we join in this objective, the better result we will obtain to make Lima a better city," said Janis Rey.

As part of its environmental commitment, LIMA EXPRESSES implemented climate actions aligned with the VINCI Highways global roadmap to 2030, which has the following objectives reduce GHG emissions by 51% compared to 2018 levels, decrease water consumption by 50% and achieve total elimination of own waste to landfill. In addition, the company has incorporated the risks associated with climate change as part of its business strategy to ensure a resilient infrastructure.

With a focus on energy efficiency, LIMA EXPRESA has achieved to date reduce emissions of GHG (scopes 1 and 2) in more than 40% since 2018. This was achieved through the electrification of the vehicle fleet, the implementation of its first solar photovoltaic system, which supplies energy to one of its toll plazas, and the implementation of LED lights. The company plans to continue with the electrification of its vehicle fleet and expand the installation of solar panels in 2023.

Since 2020, the company has been offsetting its residual emissions by means of the purchase of carbon credits for the conservation and preservation of national parks in Peru, contributing to the global goal of neutrality. "Energy efficiency is our first priority and compensation is the last step," commented Gisella Alfaro, Chief Sustainability Officer, during the presentation of the report. She also emphasized that the company prioritizes the purchase of carbon credits from REDD+ forestry projects certified by Verra. Aware of the importance of preserving water resources, especially in a desert area such as Lima, LIMA EXPRESA has implemented initiatives to improve efficiency in the maintenance of green areas within its road concession. These initiatives include the substitution of plant species with high water consumption for those that require less water, the installation of devices to control water consumption in their facilities, and the implementation of xerophilic gardens. Thanks to these actions, they have managed to reduce their water consumption, to date, by 50%. In terms of waste management, LIMA EXPRESSES expanded its recycling and recovery program in collaboration with socio-environmental organizations. It now includes the recovery of materials such as uniforms and advertising banners, electrical and electronic equipment, metals and railings, as well as the proper management of organic waste. These measures seek to promoting circularity of these materials and reduce the environmental impact of the waste generated.
