The Rover Alcisa Group is aware of the construction industry's incidence rate on the environment. All activities performed by the companies in the Rover Alcisa Group are carried out under the strict requirements of an Environmental Management System, based upon the ISO 14001 standard and certified by AENOR.

Our environmental management system enables to track and manage all on-site activities, according to indicators that provide quantifiable information. Its main objective is to identify all relevant environmental aspects, know their impact, and assess this impact according to its dimension and persistence, in order to obtain data that enable to remove or minimize all impacts. Based on this process, we take several prevention measures, which are integrated in our Good Environmental Practices guides willing to allow sustainability of our activities and to make our staff and collaborators aware.

 

We draw up the corresponding specific Environmental Quality Assurance Plans or the appropriate Integrated Environmental Management Plans for each work. With these plans we efficiently monitor all the activities that are carried out, we adapt the work proceedings to each particular case, and we verify the results in each stage of our activity.

 

In each workplace, we assign at least one on-site Environmental Management Manager, who is supported by some central services in the Group. As an example of our deep interest on the environment, we would like to emphasize that all environmental engineers in our central service made 200 visits and on-site internal quality audits last year, with their corresponding improvement reports. This effort was superimposed to the daily dedication of all on-site supervisors.
