In addition to strict compliance with environmental legislation, OGX believes that transparency and accountability are key elements in running its business. Therefore, the company incorporates the three pillars of sustainability by creating projects that are economically viable, environmentally sound and socially fair.
In practice, this means:
- Minimizing interference in the ecosystems where it operates;
- Recovering degraded areas;
- Monitoring flora and fauna, and water and soil quality;
- Aiming for top quality in the Environmental Impact Studies (EIA’s) and Environmental Impact Reports (RIMA’s) which underpin all of its projects from the beginning;
- Maintaining good relationships with the communities in which it operates.
As part of the EBX Group, OGX has a Director for Sustainability and a Social and Environmental Committee, which together guide the implementation of sustainable practices in the Group’s businesses.
