The environmental damage resulting from increased levels of pollution, global warming, deforestation and droughts is undeniable and serious; consequently, environmental concerns are among the main challenges faced by the human race in the current century.
Indeed, most of the environmental damage and threats are a consequence of human activity itself.
Human beings have caused irreparable and undesirable environmental degradation and destruction of ecosystems, not to mention other impacts on humans and other living creatures, and this has led all nations to take serious and effective action in an attempt to mitigate this trend towards environmental destruction.
The focus on environmental concerns is intensified when developing infrastructure and industrial projects, given the inherently damaging and polluting effects of many construction activities and from operating industrial plants, especially with energy projects and mass construction activities. In terms of mitigating the short and long term destructive impact of development projects, strict compliance with environmental regulations is the best solution.
Compliance with health and safety and environmental regulations is mandatory for all personnel who are directly or indirectly active in Petro Power Construction. In terms of the environment, PPC has pledged to take all necessary measures to ensure a globally consistent environmental preservation strategy and to deliver its services using environmentally-friendly methods and practices.
The headlines for the company's environmental program are as follows:
. Conducting environmental impact assessments for projects
. Incorporating environmental considerations in project design criteria
. Taking effective measures to prevent incidents which might be damaging to the environment
. Reducing reliance on fossil fuels
To fulfill the above principles, PPC adopts the following measures in accordance with its environmental agenda:
. PPC offers integrated solutions including environmental impact assessment and engineering pertaining to industrial and infrastructure development projects. These solutions enable the company to precisely evaluate projects in terms of their specific impact on the environment in order to identify any potentially destructive factors which could pose a threat to the environment. These studies are conducted prior to commencing any implementation work.
. The Environmental Management System (EMS) helps the company to systematically structure and manage its organisation and resources for appropriate planning and implementation of the environmental program at every step of project development
. At PPC we believe that taking environmental issues into consideration during design and engineering and using alternative technologies ensures the compatibility of projects with the environment. That is why we incorporate environmental issues and consider the environmental impact assessment studies in project design criteria to ensure that ultimately eco-friendly plants and systems are delivered.
. Maximising the use of sustainable energy resources in lieu of fossil fuels is considered a crucial component in project design criteria and engineering. Promoting the use of sustainable energy resources can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial plants.
At PPC we attach the utmost importance to the environment as global capital that should be preserved for generations to come.
