Management follows internal guidelines, such as IP-PR-324 and IT-PR-311, which provide guidance from collection to waste control. The final destination is chosen based on technical, legal and economic criteria from a pool of technologies that include co-processing, incineration, reprocessing and sanitary landfill. The focus is to minimize impacts on the environment and public health, promoting reuse and recycling practices whenever possible.
Circularity measures include reuse of insulating oil and lubricant drums, batteries, returnable towels, and other recyclable items, with the purpose of optimizing the consumption of resources and reducing waste generation.
These measures are reinforced by environmental education initiatives, which seek to raise employee awareness about reducing waste generation and circularity.
Norte Energia has sustainable procurement practices that prioritize suppliers and materials with a lower environmental impact well as initiatives that promote reuse and circularity. These initiatives strengthen the integration between waste management and purchasing criteria, encouraging responsible consumption, recycling in the value chain, and ongoing employee training on proper disposal.
