FCC Medio Ambiente renews
its environmental commitment
FCC’s Environmental Division recently
renewed its registration in the Carbon
Footprint, compensation and CO
2
absorption projects of the Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and the Environment
(MAGRAMA), in section a) carbon footprint
and commitments to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions.
The Company submitted before the Spanish
Office of Climate Change, jointly with the
2014 register of the carbon footprint, a
report on the status of the greenhouse
gas emissions (GHG) reduction plan in
accordance with its commitment when it
registered the carbon footprint for 2013 in
the MAGRAMA Register.
Quantifying the objective of reducing
diffused GHG emissions is the result of
analysing the evolution of the organization’s
carbon footprint since 2011. This study
made it possible to identify the sources of
GHG emissions over which the company
can and must act in order to reduce them.
The scope of this objective focuses on GHG
emissions associated to landfill sites which
account for 46% of the direct emissions
generated by FCC Medio Ambiente’s
organization.
Fulfilling the commitment of calculating
and reducing the organization’s carbon
footprint will make it possible to bolster the
positioning of a company that is willing to
communicate with transparent information
on its strategy for reducing GHG emissions
and energy efficiency within the framework
of low carbon economy, which will
become increasingly more relevant in the
organization and in the development of the
city of the future.
