BYMA obtained the "Green Seal of Sustainable Management" Certification.

The BYMA Group obtained the "Green Seal of Sustainable Management" Certification for the implementation of good practices in waste management in the offices of all its companies: BYMA, Caja de Valores, IAMC and TECVAL.

The Green Seal is granted by the Ministry of Public Space and Urban Hygiene of the GCBA and through the Red de Economía Circular, establishes a mechanism and a protocol to train, accompany, regularize and recognize those who achieve outstanding practices in the management of their waste by ensuring separation at source, as established by current legislation.

The organization adheres to the principles of circular economy and seeks to optimize resources and waste through different initiatives.

For BYMA, sustainability is a priority and the vector axis of all its actions.
