Environmental Sustainability

 

Globalvia understands Sustainability as a tool to contribute for a better world for the present and future generations, in which infrastructures and the responsibility towards the planet have a crucial role. 

At Globalvia Transmontana, we adopt a sustainable strategy based on the management of quality, waste, electric efficiency, environmental, health and social support.  

Environmental Sustainability Perspective

From a sustainability perspective, within the daily maintenance and operation tasks in order to reduce, mitigate or eliminate possible inherent impacts to our activity, we proceeded with responsible management.

Reducing the Use of Paper

We opted by reducing the use of paper. To this end, we developed an app that contains all information previously available in paper. It is through this app that weekly work, incidents on the road, information about our vehicles, and part of the information to send to the licenser, among others, are monitored.

Activity Waste

The waste that comes from the activities of operation and maintenance of our infrastructure is gathered, stored, sorted out and dealt with by proper qualified entities and authorized and licenced by the Ministry of Environment, guaranteeing the fulfilment of all rules of environmental safety. This way, we intend to ensure proper treatment of our waste in significant environmental matters, minimizing the environmental impact related to our activity.

Waste Management

Waste Management – reduction of plastic, oils, etc – Correct elimination of dangerous and non-dangerous waste. .

Fucused on the Future

A sustainable company watches for ethical quality and transparency in its relationships, with both internal and external entities. At Globalvia Transmontana we consider that the impact of our daily professional actions has effect on the environment. Thus, we have identified strategies to try to reduce them.

Focused on a differentiated traffic management, gifted with reliable and innovative technology, fortifying the trust of our users, keeping in mind the Road Safety component throughout our concession.

Through all measures already incorporated and keeping in mind the future with new projects.

We value our workers so that they feel appreciated and integrated in all solidarity and volunteering projects in which we take part..

Certified Environmental Management

Since 2015 that we keep Certification referring to our Environmental Management System. With the deployment of normative rule ISO 14001, we have shown and taken on our commitment with the protection of the environment, handling environmental risks inherent to our activity, efficiently.

The Certification is the result of a work developed by the whole team that forms Globalvia Transmontana and awards all the Organization.
