INTRODUCTION

Managing environmental aspects, and its impact relevant to JGC’s business operations and activities, is one of JGC’s top concerns, thus JGC conforms, and is certified to, the ISO14001 Environmental Management System standard. JGC is committed to achieving environmental excellence in both, JGC’s corporate operations and JGC’s EPC projects. Qualified and competent Environmental Coordinators or Environmental Protection Officers are employed at project level to ensure effective implementation and integration of the Environmental Management System.

As a responsible EPC Contractor, JGC’s plant design includes reducing adverse impact to the environment, minimizing the consumption of operating energy and natural resources, minimizing emission and pollution, and reducing waste production. JGC gives also preference to Vendors that adopt environmental friendly manufacturing processes. The above principles apply also during the construction phase of the plant and all JGC Contractors are required to comply with these principles.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Waste management is one of JGC’s key responsibilities, particularly during the construction, pre-commissioning and commissioning phase of a project. JGC’s waste management principles that are applied in JGC’s corporate operations as well as at project level are;

• REDUCE
• REUSE
• RECYCLE

The project Environmental Coordinator ensures that all waste generated is stored, handled, transported and finally disposed in compliance with relevant local regulations and Client requirements. In addition, JGC Construction Department ensures that only licensed and approved waste contractors are utilized.

JGC pays special attention to hazardous wastes produced at site during all phases of the project, and until the hand-over of the plant to the Client has been completed.
