Certification | Environment


We have developed and implemented an EMS (Environment Management System) to govern our obligations, risks and environmental impacts, whose methodology has been set out in the Environmental Management Handbook.

Our environmental emissions have fully complied with licence conditions during the project’s many years of existence. This not only evidences our commitment in terms of the “demanding” nature of good environmental management but also our emphasis on the least “quantifiable” part of the project - our concern to maintain a good relationship with local communities.


 

Our longstanding commitment of many years in terms of environmental issues was rewarded in 1998 by our certification to ISO 14001 which we have succeeded in maintaining year after year.

Pego Power Station was also the first industrial installation in Portugal to be awarded an EMAS Certificate on 23 May 2000. The certification is still in force.
