Why this change? Company Social Responsibility (CSR)

Everything advances, changes, improves, is modified or intensified. Evidently a paradigm has changed, there is a different way of thinking, living, producing and rendering services.
That is why nowadays, the implementation of an environmental policy and the compliance with the different international rules and certifications as part of an integrating and improvement strategy is one of the pillars of our company.
We are convinced that the management strategy of the company should be aimed to control the economic, social and environmental impact of the processes and products offered through:

• International certifications (ISO standards, etc.).
• Tracking and control systems.
• Sustainability reports (Annual report - GRI).
• Sustainability standards.
• Strategic agreements and contracts.
• Action plans.
• To modify processes and adapt policies of CSR (Company Social Responsibility)
• Integral services (end of cycle).
• Compliance with regulations.
• Final statement certificate.
• Good Practices.
• Environmental Statement.

It is a new concept of enterprise, an enterprise of the 21st century, which takes part of the current transition and includes the sustainability in its DNA, emphasizing the experience, seriousness and 20 years of reputation in the market.
Enterprises should aim more and more to the development and protection of the environment as a corporate strategy.
It is considered a fact that companies that implement policies and implement actions protecting the environment increase their possibilities of business and benefits. A responsible and eco-efficient company is good business.
Until a few years ago, the companies apologized for not protecting the environment due to the high costs this implied. On the contrary, the optimization of non-renewable/natural resources and raw material allows to:

• Increase the economic profit.
• Reduce costs.
• Improve the company image.

The environmental issue has become highly significant in the corporate actions; therefore each year companies will be required to be certified on environmental protection practices. At present, the CSR is a commitment aimed to contribute to the sustainable development. That is why PELCO has adopted CSR as the basis of its idiosyncrasy policy and actions for the future.
