Industrias Aguayo is not focused on arranging multiple partnerships, but rather on each association’s quality and mutual benefit. “Having few suppliers and establishing long tenures with them provides the best conditions to maintain our services’ and products’ quality,” Aguayo explained. The Power of Sustainability One of the most recent and important feats in Industrias Aguayo’s history is the opening, in 2014, of their power-generation plant. This resource is fed by solar energy and is able to supply Aguayo 65 percent of their required power quota. SOFOS Dominicana placed more than 2,000 solar panels on the roof of Industrias Aguayo’s plants. The original projected calculations considered this effort would help in providing 95 percent of the company’s total energy consumption, but an increase in Aguayo’s operations and demand for products were a factor to lower the set expectations. Currently, the photovoltaic power plant keeps more than 460 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere “We will keep investing in these resources, increasing our own power supply,” the CEO stated.
