Interagir - Environmental Education Program
The Interagir - Environmental Education Program, started in 1996, was the first systematic environmental education action carried out by the company. It was initially aimed at own employees, but in 2002 it was extended to third party companies. From the Interagir Program stemmed the idea of creating the CEA, a place where Environmental Education meetings are held and during which hundreds of environmental improvement works have been presented developed by own and third party employees and implemented in their work places aiming to continuously improve the environmental management at the company.
The space was structured based on the concept that investments in environmental control equipment and systems will only reach optimal level when backed by a strong engagement of the people; the main goal of the Interagir Program is to promote a change of behaviour and attitude regarding environmental issues related to the activities of the company.
Having an innovative content the Interagir Program is developed in training modules carried out in the CEA.
- AGIR MODULE - a training module in which the participants are encouraged to think about each one of their activities and their possible impacts on the environment. The main goal is to show how each participant is going to put in practice the concepts of sustainability, fostering actions.
- ADMINISTRATIVE MODULE - a training module in which the employees of the administrative area are encouraged to adopt attitudes of commitment to the improvement of environmental quality inside and outside company's premises.
- INTERAGIR MODULE for managers - in this module the results obtained in environmental performance are announced in order to create conditions to establish new targets and implement new projects. It is carried out at the end of each year with the participation of all company managers.
- ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER MODULE - having a more technical approach this module is aimed at encouraging supervisors to be more committed to the development of projects and actions for environmental improvement.
