• To seek to avoid environmental incidents (through our work management action and by our subcontractors) and to use effective emergency response procedures to minimize the impact of any potential incident.

 

This policy is disseminated by management to the entire Organization through the use of appropriate means of dissemination (verbal communications, bulletin boards, intranet, etc.), with the aim of being understood and assumed by all staff and made available from other interested parties.

 

In addition, it is distributed to subcontractors and is available at the facilities for the public or users of our services, as well as disseminated on the organization's website.
