Environment
Belgoprocess protects the environment in the same manner that it protects human health, by identifying risks, reducing hazards, preventing environmental challenges and reducing the consequences should a challenge occur.
Belgoprocess has a particular responsibility because of its business of dealing with nuclear waste. The company, therefore, also operates to additional safety criteria.
- Firstly, the generation of waste needs to be prevented.
- Secondly, materials should be internally or externally recycled where possible.
- They should only be regarded as waste and treated accordingly as a last resort, when recycling is technically or economically unfeasible.
Belgoprocess performs all activities within a company-wide quality assurance system certified as being in conformity with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
Belgoprocess seeks to restrict the environmental impact of its activities in a responsible manner. Compliance with legal standards and licensing conditions is not an end in itself.
Belgoprocess´ environmental policy is based on an approach in which safety, quality and care for the environment are inextricably linked. Moreover, the company seeks to demonstrate via its local area monitoring programme that it does monitor its impact on the local environment, and that that impact is negligible.
Its environmental policy is set out in the Belgoprocess policy statement, which is integrally reproduced at the beginning of this sustainability report. It makes clear that ensuring that its own environmental and safety performance is understood is seen as crucial by Belgoprocess.
