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
When generating electricity, we recognize that each process phase interacts with the environment, including impacts on the atmosphere, water resources, flora and fauna, and waste management. 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
