Control and Monitoring Systems
We have developed a system for control and monitoring our 7-Eleven stores to save energy.
The system uses real-time monitoring to promptly identify opportunities for improvement in our facilities, so that we can take the necessary corrective measures.

MAS Bodega y Logística
Change of refrigeration system at the Escobedo Distribution Center for CO2.
Through these conversions, we significantly reduced the electrical consumption of the equipment and also introduced more environmentally friendly solutions to improve the energy efficient of our equipment.
Distribution Efficiency
MAS Bodega y Logística
In 2023, we improved the fuel efficiency of our transportation fleet through monitoring and improvement of GPS technology installed in our delivery trucks, and provided training to drivers and a progressive upgrade of our vehicle fleet according to our policy of ensuring optimum performance.

Water Resource
Management
583.5 ML
of water consumed in 2023
290.5 ML
of water consumed in water stressed regions
Iconn is well aware of how important natural resources are, particularly water. We are committed to responsibly managing this vital resource, and we seek to mitigate the impact of our operations on water consumption by identifying the businesses and regions where we consume most water and developing and introducing projects to save water, including, in the past year, installation of dry urinals in Petro Seven service stations.
In 2023, we carried out two particularly important projects to save water: the installation of ecological toilets in 14% of our 7-Eleven stores and 27% of our Petro Seven stations in the state of Nuevo Leon, and the pilot water consumption monitoring and alert systems in 34% of our stores to promptly detect water leaks.
A conventional toilet flush uses 4.8 to 6 liters, while an ecological toilet uses only 2.5 liters. This will represent a savings of 28,800 m3 of water a year, which is important considering that these are located in one of our countries regions of greatest water stress.
