Coca-Cola, #HospitalityForTheClimate
The 2015 Paris Agreement set society the goal that the increase in temperature on Earth would be below two degrees by the end of the century, and more ambitious efforts would be made to not exceed the 1.5 level. degrees.
In Spain, the #PorElClima Community was born, the multi-stakeholder platform to ambitiously implement the Paris Agreement by accelerating climate action in the different sectors of society, promoted by representatives of the three key sectors of change: public administrations, business and citizens , in which ECODES is the executive secretary. And within it, Coca-Cola and ECODES decide to contribute to promoting carbon neutrality in a key sector: the hotel industry.
Hospitality #PorElClima is a virtual platform that brings together a community of hospitality establishments that decide to commit to society, our environment and a better future.
Since the launch of this initiative in 2017, more than 2,000 establishments have joined, implementing more than 17,000 climate actions.
In addition, to give relevance and visibility to the ‘good practices’ of the sector, the Hospitality website #PorElClima has published more than 150 stories and seven success stories.
This initiative has three main objectives with which it is committed to society and its environment to achieve a better future. On the one hand, helping to reduce the environmental impact of restaurants with tips and tools. On the other hand, promoting the hospitality sector as an example of a committed sector; and a third that consists of making the climate actions of each of the participating establishments visible.
To meet these challenges, Hospitality #PorElClima helps each establishment to identify the actions that they already have in place or that they could implement to become a low-carbon establishment. These actions are based on six pillars of action: waste management, energy, responsible consumption, mobility, carbon footprint and water.

Paprika
La Vera Paprika is a product with a smoky, intense and penetrating flavor and aroma, due to the drying process to which the peppers are subjected. As for its coloration, it is intense red with relative brightness. It has a high coloring power, higher in the varieties of the Ocales group than in the Bola variety. Both its flavor, aroma and color are highly stable over time, mainly due to the slow drying process to which the fruits are subjected.
According to its flavor we can establish three groups: Sweet paprika: with a mild flavor, totally sweet. Made with the Bola and Jaranda varieties; ocal or bittersweet paprika: mildly spicy on the palate. Made with the Jaranda and Jariza varieties; and finally the spicy paprika: pronounced itching on the palate. Made with the Jeromín, Jariza and Jaranda varieties.
The pepper production area for the production of “Paprika de la Vera” is made up of the municipalities included in the natural regions of La Vera, Campo Arañuelo, Valle del Ambroz and Valle del Alagón, in the north of the province of Cáceres, specifically fifty municipal terms.
The process of making Pimentón de la Vera takes place in two steps, the first consists of drying the fruits, which is carried out by the farmer himself in the dryers available on his farm; the second is the grinding of dry peppers, in charge of the industrial millers located in the area covered by the Protected Designation of Origin.
