Environmental Policy
Since the beginning of its activities NelStar has followed a policy of environmental conservation of a corporate citizen. In the preparation of the pastures, it maintained and preserved the existing flora, doing it in the adjusted terms with the competent authorities. It planted approximately 1,500 seedlings of various regional species, increasing the degree of environmental preservation. After 13 years, the forests are formed and filled with a fauna composed of several wild animals that daily circulate throughout the area.
