OUR COMMITMENT

We believe in more conscious cleaning

Our mission is to offer the best experience in cleaning tasks every day in the most sustainable way throughout Latin America.

We are fully aware of the climatic emergency our planet suffers, and we care about future generations. For these reasons, we developed a Sustainability Strategy for 2020-2025 by working with our employees, directors, investors, suppliers and customers, and counting on the support of the EDGE Chile sustainability consulting company.

What does a more conscious cleaning mean?

What does a more conscious cleaning mean?

We have developed products with specific sustainability attributes called “More Conscious Cleaning.” This line has 3 product categories: Recycled raw materials, Compostable or Recyclable Products, and Raw materials with responsible management.

i-reciclable

Recycled raw materials

i-compost

Compostable or recyclable products

i-responsable

Raw materials with responsible management

All attributes must have their respective certificate, seal, supplier self-declaration, or endorsement, depending on each case. Virutex doesn’t audit the information provided by its suppliers and isn’t responsible if it’s not truthful.

The evaluation of the products isn’t based on a complete life cycle approach and doesn’t state that these products are the most sustainable on the market; only the corresponding attribute is specified under the previously mentioned rules.
