E&S Approach
E&S Approach
- Voltalia is committed to the highest level of environmental and social performance across all its activities in line with its mission and value of Improving global environment and fostering local development.
- Voltalia is managing its environmental and social performance in line with international best practices, the IFC Performance Standards, in all its IPP projects in non-designated countries as defined by the Equator Principle association.
- This commitment means Voltalia must properly identify, assess and manage the environmental and social impacts of its activities. This is done by:
- ensuring environmental and social impact assessment is carried appropriately considering project’s activities and surrounding area;
- ensuring effective engagement with project’s stakeholders whether local communities, national and local authorities, or NGOs;
- setting up and implementing environmental and social management measures commensurate to the project’s impacts to reduce them as low as reasonably possible;
- E&S aspects must be considered at every step of project planning and execution, and managed appropriately in line with Voltalia E&S standards and HSES integrated management system.
