Vircell, S.L., in its vocation and commitment to the Environment, annually performs an Environmental Performance evaluation and, through this evaluation, measures are established, some of which become environmental objectives.
This report aims to announce the activities that have been carried out, the results of the environmental objectives proposed for that year and identify possible areas for improvement for the future.
Next, the points that we will discuss during this report:
• Review of compliance with environmental legislation
• Environmental objectives. Year 2025
• Environmental aspects
• Internal training
• Planning and response to environmental emergencies
• Final comment
Review of compliance with environmental legislation
At least twice a year, a review of the fulfillment of legal requirements regarding the environment is performed. This process serves to check that the previously identified requirements continue to be met and that the new legislation enacted in this matter is taken into account.
Environmental objectives. Year 2025
The environmental objective defined for 2025 regarding a 1% reduction in diesel consumption (liters) per thousand units manufactured has not been achieved.
Diesel consumption is linked to auxiliary services, particularly the heating and air conditioning systems of the facilities. In 2025, two new rooms were put into operation, which led to a normal and expected increase in diesel consumption due to the need to climatize these additional spaces. These rooms were equipped with new equipment, all of which require controlled thermal comfort conditions. In addition, during the period analyzed, more demanding climatic conditions and longer operating times of the climate control systems had a significant influence on consumption.
Environmental aspects
An identification and evaluation of environmental aspects is carried out.
This identification of aspects has been reviewed on January 28th, 2026 and the evaluation of its impacts has been recalculated. As a result, all aspects except seven were determined to be non-significant, mainly due to the level of control in place and the awareness achieved.
The aspect that has been significant is the following:
• Obsolete fluorescent and ultraviolet tubes (200121)
• Contaminated absorbents, filters, and rags (150202)
• Other engine, transmission, and lubricating oils (130208)
• Obsolete IT equipment (computers, printers, etc.) (200135)
• Batteries containing mercury
• Paper consumption
• Diesel consumption
The environmental aspects that stand out for having experienced an improvement over the previous year:
• Sodium hypochlorite consumption
• Water consumption

Planning and response to environmental emergencies
Annually, and in order to validate the planning and response to environmental emergencies and to ensure their adequate knowledge by the personnel, a practical simulation is carried out so that the staff knows first-hand how to act in case of environmental emergencies.
Final comment
