Sidenor Corporate Report 2019

38 Corporate report 2019 | Environment All our worksites have implemented an Environmental and Energy Management System that is aligned with standards ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 and requires analyses of all our industrial activities. Through this system, which is fully integrated in our activity, we guarantee the assessment, planning and environmental monitoring of our entire process. To do so, the Environment and Energy Affairs area holds, during the first quarter of every year, specific meetings with each production area to establish an annual action plan based on the results obtained and those expected for the following year. In addition, we apply the precautionary principle to our high-impact activities and have a civil and environmental liability insurance, as explained in the annual accounts of the financial year, in order to mitigate the consequences of any incident that might derive from our activities. No claim or dispute regarding environmental matters was presented in 2019. We also fall into the scope of Law 26/2007 on Environmental Responsibility: in 2019, we provided the administrations with the relevant risk analyses and responsible statements in order to establish financial guarantees for priority-2 installations.
