Occupational Health and Safety
The health and safety of all those who contribute to the development of the business activities that are part of the EDP Group, including workers, suppliers, service providers, customers, and other stakeholders, are deemed key values and priorities for the success of EDP as a business Group. The consolidation of a positive safety culture is only possible with the participation and involvement of everyone and with a participatory and collaborative attitude towards Safety at Work.
People are the center of our strategic agenda, with the responsibility of ensuring the necessary conditions for adapting to the new demands of work, driven by the evolution of the business and the digitization of processes, particularly in matters related to Occupational Health and Safety Policy.
By assuming this EDP commitment, based on the principles of sustainable development and applying the highest ethical standards, exceptional performance levels will be chieved, making the EDP Group an increasingly better place to work.
The constant reinforcement of the culture of Occupational Health and Safety Policy is a determination made by corporate management in the EDP Group, achieved through developing awareness, strengthening wills, and the availability of the necessary resources for:
- provide safe and healthy working conditions to prevent injuries and adverse health effects;
- ensuring compliance with legal requirements and other requirements voluntarily undertaken by the EDP Group;
- promoting the training and informing of workers regarding activity-related risks, through raising their awareness of compliance with safety standards and procedures;
- protecting facilities and equipment by adopting the best techniques, combined with monitoring and updating operating procedures to eliminate dangers and reduce risks to workers, service providers, and stakeholders who might encounter the EDP Group’s infrastructures;
- ensuring the participation and consultation of workers or their representatives in planning, implementing and evaluating the performance of Occupational Health and Safety management;
- ensuring that in the design and development of products, sales, projects, execution of works, operation and maintenance of assets, all safety requirements are integrated in advance, minimizing risks, to ensure the planning of investments that guarantee safe solutions throughout the value chain and for all stakeholders;
Safety is an integral part of the quality of the EDP Group's services and products.
The results regarding EDP’s main OH&S indicators reflect the outcomes of actions and initiatives throughout the year to improve workplace safety conditions, in particular in the areas of training and awareness raising, risk assessment and control, preventive action with employees of service providers and an increase in the audits and inspections programme.
