Environmental protection is essential in attaining sustainable development that will enable us to ensure the existence of the resources available to us today for future generations. Caring for and protecting the environment is a task for everyone, one in which businesses play a fundamental role. Companies have to be responsible in conducting their business, endeavoring to minimize the impact of their activities to avoid compromising the future of our planet.

As part of its commitment to sustainability, Abengoa ensures the environmental sustainability of both its products and services and its processes. Accordingly, Abengoa measures, compares, validates and cushions the impact of its activity on the environment.

To this end, the company has designed an Integrated Sustainability Management System (ISMS), which enables reliable information to be obtained on the most significant (social, environmental and economic) aspects of sustainability. The system makes it possible to gather data in real time, which promotes efficiency in management, improves decision-making, and helps mitigate the risks associated with the impact of company activity. In 2011, Abengoa began the process of registering a patent for the system.

Abengoa’s aim is to achieve excellence in sustainable management and make it the core element of company strategy.
