Eco-efficiency improvement
Description
Description
Brisa identified eco-efficiency as a priority area for action, defining quantitative objectives for 5 fundamental indicators: consumption of water, electricity, fuel and emissions and waste generation.
Implementation of the Project/Activity
The targets defined for the eco-efficiency index are addressed by the organization as a strategic priority, which means they are achieved through:
- Behavioural aspects, related to the company employees best practices, namely through eco-driving as a way to reduce fuel consumption.
- Operational improvements, supported by better procedures, technology and equipments, namely through greater efficiency of the network's lighting, a component that represents almost half of the Group's total consumption
of electricity.
Many other examples cover waste and water management. These initatives are detailed on Brisa's Sustainability Report, available at <a href="www.brisa.pt">Brisa Official Website</a>
