ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

ISO 14001

ISO 14001 is an international standard that establishes the requirements for an environmental management system (EMS). It was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) with the aim of helping organizations minimize their environmental impact and comply with applicable environmental regulations.

Since 2016, ZAL Port has implemented and certified the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. This strategic decision reflects the active commitment to the climate crisis and demonstrates the determination to annually evaluate the results achieved and the areas for improvement. With this certification, ZAL Port seeks not only to comply with international standards, but also to effectively contribute to the preservation of the environment and long-term sustainability.

EMAS REGISTRATION

EMAS REGISTRATION (ECO MANAGEMENT AUDIT SCHEME)

El Registro EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme)  es el Reglamento Comunitario de Ecogestión y Ecoauditoria, herramienta desarrollada por la Unión Europea que reconoce a aquellas organizaciones que han implantado un SGMA (Sistema de Gestión Medioambiental) y han adquirido un compromiso de mejora continua, verificado mediante auditorías independientes y promueve  la transparencia en la divulgación de información ambiental anual.

Desde 2016 ZAL Port mantiene el registro, la decisión de implantar el Sistema Comunitario de Ecogestión y Ecoauditoría después de haber implantado y certificado el sistema de gestión ambiental ISO 14001  fue un acto de transparencia e información de su desempeño ambiental a todos los grupos de interés. 

La divulgación de la Declaración Ambiental EMAS, una vez validada por una entidad de certificación, refleja la autenticidad de los datos presentados. Esta acción muestra la voluntad  de compartir de manera abierta y veraz la información sobre  nuestras   prácticas ambientales.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

ISO 50001

ISO 50001 is an international standard that establishes the requirements for the implementation of an Energy Management System (EMS). This standard aims to help organizations improve their energy performance, reduce costs and decrease their environmental impact associated with energy use.

By implementing and certifying the Energy Management System based on ISO 50001 in 2017, ZAL Port is able to establish processes and practices aimed at improving energy efficiency, identifying opportunities for reducing energy consumption, and meeting specific objectives and goals related to Sustainable Development Goal No. 7 “accessible and clean energy.”

LEED CERTIFICATION

LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (LEED) is part of the business strategy. It is a classification system for green and healthy buildings and its certificate is internationally recognized.

Since 2018, the Board of Directors of ZAL Port decided to build the warehouses under LEED standards. Assuming this commitment to the construction of its warehouses means investing in materials and technologies that minimize environmental impact and promote energy efficiency.

The LEED certification not only supports ZAL Port‘s commitment to sustainability, but also demonstrates the interest in creating healthier and more efficient work environments.
