To ensure safe and sustainable operations, we have a specialized team dedicated to identifying, mitigating, and managing environmental risks. Through our Integrated Management System, we safeguard the environmental integrity of our operations by implementing procedures, plans, and programs aimed at achieving our goal of zero annual environmental incidents. This approach helps us meet our established environmental objectives and targets, always with a focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence. As part of our commitment to the environment, we aim to diligently comply with all applicable environmental laws, regulations, and permits in the region.
In the process of acquiring new projects, we conduct Due Diligence that includes a sustainability assessment. During this process, potential environmental risks are identified and communicated and are thoroughly considered in the decision-making process.
Additionally, for the construction of projects in existing or new operations, environmental risks are assessed with the support of the sustainability team to ensure these risks are properly managed. This process follows the impact hierarchy matrix: Avoid, Reduce, Mitigate, and Compensate.
Our highly trained team consistently conducts environmental inspections and audits across our operations to ensure compliance with the requirements established in our integrated management system, as well as our sustainability policy. These inspections and audits not only ensure regulatory compliance but also encourage the identification and communication of risks, the detection of improvement opportunities, and the implementation of best practices, all aimed at ensuring safe environmental conditions.
