vely by FCC Medio Ambiente personnel.
Via the Energy Management System, effi-
ciency measures are being implemented
that affect a fleet of more than 7,000 vehicles
and over 300 workplaces, related to aspects
including: efficient driving; management and
optimisation of routes; raining and aware-
ness-building of staff in the efficient use of
energy; upgrading equipment and facilities
with more efficient alternatives or ones that
use renewable energy sources.
Energy-management certification involves

consumption, with the
associated positive effects
on cutting financial costs and
greenhouse-gas emissions.
