The environmental management system in detail

One of the pillars supporting any adequate Environmental Management System is planning. In accordance with the standards, Enresa contemplates three fundamental requirements in its planning: the identification and assessment of environmental aspects, exhaustive control of the legislation and the periodic programming of objectives and goals.

Identification and assessment of environmental aspects

Each of the facilities adopts a systematic approach to the identification of those environmental issues that has or might have a significant impact. Also in place is a dynamic and continuously updated, documented and contrasted process for the evaluation of these aspects.

Control of the legislation

Every month the environmental legislation is monitored and the facilities are informed of any new requirements. In this respect the management tools required to access this information are in place.

Objectives and goals

In keeping with Enresa’s commitments and policy and in clear convergence with the concept of on-going improvement, the facilities periodically establish programmes of environmental objectives and goals. The aim is to detect and identify areas for improvement and later schedule the actions required to achieve such improvement.

Objectives and goals at El Cabril:

• Reduction in water consumption of 10%
• Conditioning of 4,000 m3 of wastes from construction and demolition
• Installation of a solar energy heat absorption system in the auxiliary conditioning building with a rated power of 34.9 kW.
• Reduction in paper consumption of 10%.

Objectives and goals at Vandellós I:

• Reduction in paper consumption of 10%
• Reduction in fuel consumption of 5%

Other objectives:

• Reduction in electricity consumption of 3%

In an attempt to go further than mere compliance with the requirements, care for the surroundings and for the flora and fauna of El Cabril is a constant in the activities performed.
