Antofagasta, 23 August 2024 — Green Leader, a leading company in environmental solutions and sustainability, has been honoured with the Technological Contribution Award at the prestigious 2024 Mining Business Dinner, organised by the Antofagasta Industrial Association (AIA), in celebration of their 80 years of commitment to the growth of the Antofagasta Region.

El reconocimiento fue otorgado por la destacada innovación del Green Track System, un sistema de trazabilidad en línea que ha revolucionado la gestión de residuos industriales. Esta tecnología permite la captura de datos en terreno a través de formularios onsite, geolocalizando el movimiento de residuos desde su generación hasta su disposición final o valorización. La información es almacenada en la nube y visualizada mediante dashboards diseñados a la medida, facilitando el cumplimiento normativo y proporcionando reportes ambientales, sociales y económicos en tiempo real.

Upon receiving the award, Green Leader's CEO, Javier Ramírez López, expressed his pride in the team and emphasised the importance of continuing to develop technological solutions that not only optimise industrial management but also significantly contribute to environmental preservation. “This award is a recognition of our commitment to innovation and sustainability, and it reaffirms our mission to lead the shift towards more responsible industrial practices,” he stated.

The AIA’s Mining Business Dinner, which this year celebrates eight decades of contribution to the economic and social development of the region, brought together prominent industry leaders who agreed on the need to drive technology and sustainability as fundamental pillars for the future of mining in Chile.

About Green Track System

Green Track System is an online traceability and tracking system that enables the capture of relevant information on-site, tracing the movement of waste generated in various company areas, geolocating the collection point, and the transportation to the company’s authorised temporary storage sites, before being moved to final disposal or valorisation where applicable.

The data captured on-site is securely stored in the cloud, feeding into our dashboards, which are exclusively designed for our clients, providing graphs and environmental, social, and economic reports that ensure regulatory compliance, and consolidate all documentation and certificates.

Regarding its positive environmental impact, Green Track System contributes to environmental preservation by ensuring efficient and safe waste management. It facilitates compliance with environmental regulations, reduces the risk of environmental incidents, improves waste management efficiency, and serves as a crucial tool for internal and external audits for ISO certifications. The generated reports help monitor and reduce resource consumption such as water and energy, as well as CO2 emissions. Additionally, it involves the implementation of special labels for different types of waste containers, confinement, and clean handling of waste, preventing contamination and, above all, maintaining control over management.

Concerning its contribution to improving people's quality of life, Green Track System enhances people's quality of life by ensuring safe and efficient waste management, reducing environmental risks, and improving working conditions for employees. It also fosters the creation of specialised jobs and promotes gender inclusion within the management team.
