    Carldora is aware that companies have responsibilities both in creating wealth and protecting the environment. It therefore adopts environmental management practices that give them a clear understanding of the impacts caused, as well as providing technical, human and financial resources to ensure that these impacts are minimised and controlled.<\/p>\n
    Carldora, under the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) regime, which is part of the Industrial Emissions Regime (REI) \u2013 Decree-Law No. 127\/2013 of 30 August, has a valid Environmental Licence No. 268_2009, provided for in the company's environmental management system, associated with the surface treatment of metals using electrolytic and chemical processes, which is carried out at its manufacturing facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    Carldora's Integrated Management System (IMS) is certified to NP EN ISO 14001 (certified by SGS no. PT 18\/06623), which provides a set of methodologies that enhance environmental management, coordinating a process of identifying environmental aspects and determining their impacts.<\/p>\n
    The parameters of operations associated with significant environmental aspects are monitored and measured, and information on these parameters is essential to determine how they should be managed in order to achieve objectives and improve environmental performance.<\/p>\n
    Accordingly, our company is committed to using the best techniques for the aforementioned processes, including all necessary measures to ensure the protection of air, water, and soil, and to prevent or reduce noise pollution and waste production, with the aim of achieving a high level of protection for the environment as a whole.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
