Environmental Responsibility

Our environmental strategy is based on minimizing environmental impacts through planning and innovation, through complying with all environmental regulations and global best practices. We are maintaining or decreasing our carbon air and waste footprint. By training and developing our workforce to understand and apply our environmental procedures daily, we are privileging an environmental prevention work mindset instead of a reactive one.

Managing environmental impacts

It is unavoidable that our activity – generating electricity – implies environmental impacts on multiple levels: air emissions, waste production, water consumption, wastewater discharges, biodiversity (flora and fauna) effects, natural resources reduction, among others. Under this context, we seek continuously and in a dynamic way, to use innovative approaches to environmental management and to plan and implement suitable environmental management systems (EMS). Every EMS we develop is appropriate and tailored to the nature and scale of each project, promoting sustainable environmental performance and leading to improved environmental outcomes.

Environmental stewardship

Our policy on environmental sustainability is aligned with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards and with United Nations Global Compact Principles. They are reflected in our core business principles, which guide our day-to-day operations and our sustainable business strategy to promote environmental stewardship:

Pollution prevention and abatement
Biodiversity conservation
Sustainable natural resource responsible management
