ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Corporate Environmental Policy Fully aware of the importance of practising sustainable development and having internalised our
principles, PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES as a whole is developing an Integrated Quality and Environmental Management System, the purpose of which is to prevent impact to the areas surrounding our activities and facilities, according to ISO 14001:2004 standards. An Environmental Policy is one of the necessary requirements for the Environmental Management System to conform to the above-mentioned standards. PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES' Environmental Policy is our complete declaration of intent and principles regarding general environmental behaviour, which establishes a framework for our activities and sets our environmental goals and objectives. Therefore, said Policy has not been drafted in a vacuum, but rather is an active part of everyday practice in our organisation, the objective of which is to achieve overall improvement in our environmental behaviour. PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES' policy will be seconded by the following general commitments: Commitment to ongoing improvement A continuous improvement to our Environmental Management System will allow us to move towards achievement of overall environmental awareness in our company, setting the priorities for our efforts. Commitment to conform to regulations This commitment implies detailed identification of legal and any other requirements related to environmental aspects applicable to PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES, in order to control the application of regulations as a whole. Commitment to preventing pollution The prevention of pollution requires follow-up that must be carried out with available means and tend towards the reduction of pollution at its point of origin and, in its case, treatment procedures for emissions and waste generated by the organisation. In other words, PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES accepts our commitment to try to act practising the utmost prevention. Having accepted said commitments, the priorities amongst our environmental actions as defined in this Policy are the following: 1.
A programme of goals and objectives shall be developed, in which all significant environmental aspects will be prioritised and in which the needs of our client/s, staff and other interested parties (local residents and bordering areas, amongst others) will be taken into account.
2.
Progress achieved in our Environmental Goals and Objectives Policy will be supervised and reviewed regularly by the person responsible for Environmental Management.
3. The focus of this statement should be objective and open to all affected parties, committed to sensitising all PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES' staff regarding the principles it expresses. This Policy shall be reviewed by Management on a yearly basis and accordingly adapted to the company's reality and the locations where operations are taking place.
PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES wishes to achieve results in which our processes and procedures affect the environment as little as possible and thus prevent, control and minimise environmental effects that our activities would cause, studying and perfecting our methods to reduce the consumption of raw materials, the energy required to manufacture products and emissions into the atmosphere .
PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES aims to comply with legislation covering environmental aspects currently in effect and sets goals that go beyond the requirements set by Law.
PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES wishes to achieve the highest level of excellence possible in all our activities.

Promote and implement techniques to constantly improve our relationship with the environment.
Periodically revise and optimise emergency plans, reviewing their efficiency by means of drills if need be.
Check and improve control systems used, to increase their reliability in any environmental action.
Verify the level of compliance with environmental goals and objectives.
Render services in ways that consider the safety of staff and their students and the surrounding environment.
Plan processes that optimise the materials consumed and energy required, minimising waste generated and reducing emissions into the atmosphere as much as possible.
