Environmental management

The identification and evaluation of the impacts that our operation generates, are included in our environmental control and management instruments, just as the socio-environmental management and control actions are detailed in the Environmental License.

These instruments, in addition to consolidating the guidelines and directives of our activities, are a reflection of the responsibility and commitment with which we approach our relationship with the environment, which is based on timely and diligent attention to any situation that affects natural capital of the region where we are present and which is directed by our Comprehensive Management Model.

Air quality management

We control our atmospheric emissions with the implementation of an air quality management program following the corporate standards of our parent company. We have an integrated air quality monitoring system, which aims to structure, implement and monitor the operating procedures of the different port activities, so that we can monitor and control in real-time the emissions generated by the transport, storage, loading and unloading of coal.

Water management

We recognize the importance of water resources for the development of our port operations and the quality of life of neighboring communities. That’s why we focus on developing our management towards the care of quality and availability conditions of the water sources we use for catchment, dumping and wastewater control and the efficient use of the resource within our industrial and domestic activities.

Additionally, as agents of sustainable development in the region, we develop activities to monitor the quality conditions of the water basins present in the region, with the aim of joining efforts to promote their conservation and protection.

Biodiversity

As part of our commitment to the protection and conservation of biodiversity, we carry out activities to rescue the wildlife present in our operation and in the surrounding area, and relocate it to natural biosensor areas for their conservation and protection, where we monitor their survival and adaptation to the ecosystem. 

Compensation programmes

The compensation activities are framed within our objectives of being agents of sustainable development, and at the same time they are part of the application of the hierarchy of impact mitigation, by means of which we seek to generate and enhance positive impacts on the environment and society through the actions and compensation investments that we make in our operation.
