Environmental Management

Environmental Management

We manage the environment respectfully, engaging in continuous dialogue with our stakeholders, involving our suppliers, and maintaining maximum transparency regarding our activities. We use tools such as environmental management systems to achieve the desired environmental approach by meeting our objectives.

Our premise is to fit in with our surroundings while conserving and enhancing the environment

The main environmental effects of our activities stem from the existence of plants in the territory. Therefore, we strive to make them compatible with their surroundings throughout their life cycle, ensuring the protection and conservation of the environment in line with the principles established in our environmental policy.

Our commitment to the environment is so comprehensive that it not only covers the activities of all Redeia companies but extends to our suppliers. We want them to adopt responsible practices and apply environmental criteria to their processes.

The most prestigious international environmental indices recognise our environmental strategy and management.

Environmental Policy

We carry out all our activities following the principles of our Environmental Policy, updated in 2023.

It encompasses our commitment to pollution prevention, the precautionary principle, and concepts like life cycle approach, stakeholder expectations, the way we extend our environmental commitment to the supply chain, and how we proactively comply with environmental regulations.

We apply our Environmental Policy to all our majority-owned companies. In those where we do not have effective control, we promote principles aligned with ours. Additionally, we convey these principles to our business partners, temporary joint ventures, consortia, contractors, suppliers, and all types of collaborators of Redeia or entities acting on our behalf.
