We take action today

To reduce our environmental impact

As we grow our business, bringing more people into our ecosystem, we are aware that the environmental impact from our operations and value chain also grows. Along with this, our commitment to the sustainable development of the region grows stronger.

This continuous growth challenges us to be more efficient in energy consumption, reduce our carbon emissions, and innovate in the search for environmental solutions. In collaboration and through alliances with major players in the regional logistics chain, we are actively working to implement technologies and foster the development of disruptive solutions that can be scaled not only within our market but also across the industry, bringing about positive change.

We measure and report our annual greenhouse gas emissions, implementing initiatives to mitigate their impact. The ongoing measurement of carbon emissions is a crucial aspect of our strategy, enabling us to swiftly identify and implement reduction measures as our business expands. Through the Regenera América program, we aim to fund initiatives for the conservation and regeneration of Latin American biomes. This involves supporting the restoration chain, generating future carbon credits, promoting local development, and preserving ecosystems.

Impact stories

"We are running a project that, in addition to responding to the sense of urgency for the carbon footprint, strengthens local governance and brings the landowner into the dialogue, with economic results beyond the indirect benefits brought by conservation and restoration of the territory."

“Mercado Libre is helping us restore 750,000 trees in a 250-hectare-woodland, creating direct jobs for the local community that will be in charge of growing the trees and take care of the woodland in the future.”
