Sustainability

 

In accordance with such principles, ERG:

• promotes the adoption and application of “best practices” and implements all reasonable initiatives aimed at minimising risks and removing the causes that can compromise the environment or endanger the safety and health of both its employees and third parties, as well as of the residents in its operational areas;

• assures constant attention and commitment in order to improve its environmental performance in operations and in the energy field, minimising the environmental impact of its activities, reducing air, water and soil emissions, optimally managing the waste it produce and through a responsible and knowledgeable use of natural resources;

• evaluates in advance the environmental, energetic and social impact of new activities and of the changes or innovations to its corporate processes and to the goods it produces;

• develops a relationship of dialogue and constructive cooperation, based on utmost transparency and trust, with the Institutions and with all its interlocutors, in order to develop its activities respecting local communities;

• selects partners that operate according to the principles defined in this Policy;

• maintains high levels of safety and environmental protection through the implementation, testing and certification of effective management systems according to recognised standards.

 

ERG, aware that the aforesaid objectives cannot be achieved without the active contribution of all personnel, will develop an ongoing action of focused education, awareness and training.

The adoption of responsible behaviours, consistent with company policies, is considered a factor for the evaluation of individual performance, since compliance with legal provisions, with the principles set out by the Code of Ethics and by Model 231, as well as by the other commitments made, must be constantly assured by all personnel, at every level of responsibility.

 

 

Appropriate reviews and tests are periodically carried out to evaluate the results achieved, according to the system of identified reference indicators, and to define any necessary improvement actions.
