Sustainability

Environment, safety and health, community, and ethics. These are the four areas we focus on every day.

Strategy

Our quality and environmental policy commits us to systematically monitoring the environmental aspects of our facilities, preventing pollution, complying with laws and the commitments we have made, and continuously improving.

Environment

ISO 14001-certified environmental management, annual waste reporting, and monitoring of environmental regulations.

Safety and Health

PEC Excellence, Gold Joint Committee, and drills with emergency response agencies.

Community

Building relationships with neighbors and taking preventive measures to ensure that no one damages the pipeline.

Ethics and Compliance

Reporting channels, regulatory compliance, and current certifications.

Environment

Our environmental management system is certified under ISO 14001:2015 by TÜV Rheinland, valid through January 2029. We maintain an annual record of hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated by our operations.

The facilities have undergone environmental assessment, and we comply with the requirements of those regulations through an Environmental Monitoring Plan that divides the gas pipeline into four sectors based on the terrain each one traverses.

Following construction, we revegetated and reforested the right-of-way: more than 40,500 plants and approximately 40 hectares of revegetation, in addition to native species planted in the Lago Peñuelas National Reserve to compensate for the trees that could not be replanted along the right-of-way.

Commission: Environmental Assessment of the Trasandino Gas Pipeline Project, which includes the Puntilla del Viento–Quillota section.

Executive Resolution No. 019/97, Metropolitan
Region Environmental Commission: Approves the San Bernardo–Puntilla del Viento Gas Pipeline Project, the first section of the Santiago–Quillota gas pipeline.

Flora

Reforestation efforts at the Mala Cara site: 12.4 hectares and more than 22,000 trees planted alongside the Quintero-Quillota gas pipeline in the Chilicauquén sector of the Puchuncaví municipality.

Reforestation began in late 2009. Since then, Electrogas has overseen and maintained this plantation, which has had a positive impact on the terrestrial ecosystem, resulting in an increased presence of wildlife in the area.
