of corporate sustainability strategies, especially among companies located within ZFLC. These strategies include solar energy generation projects, LED lighting, energy efficiency, sustainable construction, prevention of refrigerant gas leaks, efficient water use, solid waste recovery, and the achievement of net-zero carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) emissions.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Regarding the latter, it is important to highlight that the Zona Franca La Candelaria Foundation promotes a circular economy model that contributes to the high recovery rate of solid waste, reduces the degradation of natural capital, extends the useful life of Cartagena\u2019s landfills, and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the accumulation of solid waste in these facilities.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Through this model, the Foundation helps avoid more than 2,000 tons of CO\u2082-equivalent emissions per year within the industrial park. It is also worth noting that, in line with Colombia\u2019s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, Zona Franca de La Candelaria S.A. \u2014 Free Trade Zone Operator completed the verification process of its Greenhouse Gas inventory in 2023 and obtained Carbon Neutral Certification from ICONTEC. As a result, Zona Franca de La Candelaria S.A. became the first Free Trade Zone in Colombia to be certified as carbon neutral by this organization.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Additionally, in early 2024, the Foundation established a partnership with the Qualified User Gesti\u00f3n Cargo Zona Franca S.A.S., part of Grupo Nutresa, to implement the \u201cNutresa Retoma en ZFLC\u201d program. Through this initiative, and with the support of multiple ZFLC users, the collection of plastic bottles and packaging waste began within the industrial park. These materials were later transformed into plastic lumber, which was used to build a sustainable playground delivered in October 2025 to Hogar Infantil La Abejita in Membrillal Village, a community neighboring ZFLC. More than 7,000 plastic bottles filled with plastic packaging were transformed into this playground instead of ending up in landfills, generating greenhouse gas emissions, or polluting bodies of water. Today, this high-quality recreational space benefits 170 children from the community on a daily basis.<\/p><p>The Zona Franca La Candelaria Foundation continuously promotes the implementation of sustainability projects by companies operating within the industrial park, with the aim of maximizing ZFLC\u2019s contribution to sustainable development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

company-specific shared transportation routes among ZFLC users and co-owned entities. Under this model, each organization operates its own transportation routes to move employees to the industrial park.\nThe initiative also promotes the registration and reporting of key data, such as the number of active routes within each organization and the number of employees using them. This information makes it possible to estimate the number of vehicles reduced within the industrial park and the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions avoided each year within ZFLC.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">As a result of this initiative, 21 organizations have reported this data. Based on the analysis conducted so far, with data collection and assessment still ongoing, 77 company-specific shared transportation routes are currently operating to move employees to the industrial park.\nThanks to this sustainable mobility measure, 922 employees are benefiting from shared transportation, 845 vehicles are no longer circulating daily on the streets of Cartagena, improving mobility in the city and particularly in the Mamonal Industrial Zone, and more than 5,070 tCO\u2082e are being avoided annually.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Additionally, the Zona Franca La Candelaria Foundation is working in partnership with the Mayor\u2019s Office of Cartagena to promote a mass water transportation project. This sustainable mobility initiative, using vessels powered by renewable energy, aims to improve access to the Mamonal Industrial Zone, particularly to the area surrounding Zona Franca La Candelaria.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e46bbbd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e46bbbd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc439dd elementor-arrows-position-outside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"fc439dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500,&quot;image_spacing_custom&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:20,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;image_spacing_custom_laptop&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;image_spacing_custom_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;image_spacing_custom_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Carrusel de im\u00e1genes\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 1\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"fc439dd\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"car-pooling1\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTM5LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvem9uYWZyYW5jYWxhY2FuZGVsYXJpYS5jb20uY29cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjZcLzA1XC9jYXItcG9vbGluZzEuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiZmM0MzlkZCJ9\" href=\"https:\/\/zonafrancalacandelaria.com.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/car-pooling1.jpg\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/zonafrancalacandelaria.com.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/car-pooling1.jpg\" alt=\"car-pooling1\" \/><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Desarrollo ambiental Construyendo una Zona Franca m\u00e1s verde La Primera Zona Franca Carbono Neutro de Colombia Con miras a contribuir a la mitigaci\u00f3n del cambio clim\u00e1tico y a la protecci\u00f3n medioambiental, la Fundaci\u00f3n ZF La Candelaria tiene tres programas: 1.
