4. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

Adasa has a system1 for identifying environmental aspects associated with its work, determining which of these may significantly affect the environment and monitoring them in order to set goals and objectives.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OFFICES

There are no indirect environmental aspects in the offices. In this period, chemical products as waste materials were identified as a significant aspect, and Adasa set an objective in order to reduce the amount of waste generated (See chapter 6 – Goals and Objectives).Given the legislation related to refrigerant R-22, this is maintained as a significant aspect. Even though a replacement was discovered in the previous period, no recharging tasks have been required and therefore no replacements have been carried out during this period (2013). No leaks have been detected in the air conditioning installation at the headquarters in Hospitalet (Barcelona).

Table 1 – Evaluation of environmental aspects -Offices 2012 (corresponds to the beginning of the 2013 period)

Page 11: ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT 2013

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS PROJECTS

The evaluation of environmental aspects related to the projects carried out by ADASA in 2012 did not find significant aspects even though a goal was still set for reducing atmospheric emissions and fuel consumption as a result of travel to the work sites. Therefore, awareness campaigns have been conducted regarding efficient driving and the efficiency criteria from previous years has been maintained in relation to the selection of vehicles.

1 To consult the evaluation methodology used for environmental aspects, contact the ES supervisor via the contact information listed on the last page. The evaluation of office aspects is carried out separately by branch, and the overall result is shown in the ES, specifying the branch associated with the aspect if significant.

5. BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION

Adasa works for quality improvement in the environment where our company operates and especially in preserving the quality of the waters in protected areas such as:

- Areas destined for the abstraction of water intended for human consumption

- Areas designated for protecting important aquatic species

- Water masses destined for recreational use, including areas used for swimming - “Sensitive” areas in terms of nutrients, including vulnerable and sensitive areas

- Areas for protecting habitats or species when maintaining or improving the condition of the water constitutes an important factor for their protection

Self-positionable multiprobe aquaDam

The aquaDam probe enables a full evaluation of the quality of the dammed water.

It is comprised of probes that read parameters (Temp., pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, redox potential and conductivity; soon, the transpar-ency of water and the presence of algae will also be measured) and an electro-mechanical area that controls the position of the submerged multi-parametric probe.

It includes a control, acquisition and data display system that manages the information and a transmission system that reports the data to the project Control Centres.In order to monitor the salinity in Embalse de la Loteta (Zaragoza) and to monitor the processes of stratification, we proceeded to the installation of a probe aquaDam.

The land usage indicator takes into account the area occupied by our Offices. The value has slightly increased regarding last period due to the workforce reduction in 2012.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The objectives for 2013 were set in accordance with the Environmental policy, the applicable legal requirements and the environmental aspects evaluated at the beginning of the period.

13

65%Waste Reagents

Reduce residual reagents by 30%

In 2013, a target reduction of 30% was set because of project’s execution decrease related to these waste reagents. In addition, the use of mitigating actions implanted in 2011 was maintained.

The goal has been reached and it has recorded a 65% decrease respect to 2012.

Replacement (in the case of recharging) of R-22 refrigerant in office air conditioning units

A suitable replacement for R-22 is available. R417A is a non-azeotropic mixture comprised of a ternary mixture of R125, R134a and R600, which replaces R22 without affecting the ozone. During 2013 no refrigerant gas needed to be replaced and therefore, the R417A gas has not been tested in units operating with R-22.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOUR

A summary of ADASA’s environmental behaviour is provided for 2013 and a comparison is shown with respect to 2012 and 2011. Even though environmental behaviour is assessed by centre, the overall data is provided since a large proportion of the findings correspond to the main office in Hospitalet (Barcelona).

In cases where significant changes are detected at any particular branch, the possible causes identified at these centres are specified.The source data is delivered by the Authorized Waste Manager. In the case of delegations located in Corporate buildings are used aggregate data and calculate the consumption / waste per person.

ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION

During 2013, the total consumption for the organization was 288 MWh. The average consumption per employee was 2 MWh. A non-significant increase was observed in the consumption per employee (9%).

Graph 1 – Evolution of electrical consumption per employee

Page 15: ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT 2013

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The overall consumption1 of fuel by the organization in 2013 was 72.027 L and the consumption per vehicle totalled 2029 L/vehicle and 504 L/employee.

Graph 2 – Total fuel consumption. Source: SOLRED Consumption Data.

The consumption per employee has decreased by 15% as a result of implementing energy efficiency criteria (less consumption and emissions with the same performance) when selecting ADASA vehicles. Regarding the employees, efficient driving courses are also provided to help to reduce these parameters (consumptions and emissions).

1 Is taken into account the consumption of the vehicles used by personnel for road trips.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOUR

WATER CONSUMPTION

Water consumption is mainly due to the normal consumption by employees for personal hygiene and drinking as well as for cleaning washrooms and offices.

The organization’s total consumption for 2013 was 1025 m3 and the consumption recorded per employee was 7,3 m3/employee.

A slight 10% reduction is recorded in the consumption per employee. During this period, employee awareness campaigns have been carried out as well as control tasks and monitoring of the installation’s maintenance for the purpose of detecting leaks which cause spills and excessive water consumption.

Page 17: ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT 2013

PAPER CONSUMPTION

Paper consumption occurs as a result of office activity. During 2013, 0,89t of paper was consumed.

The average consumption per employee was 6,4Kg/person; 26% lower than 2012.

The office with the most consumption is Hospitalet (Barcelona), which represents 92% of the total paper consumption for the Company. The reduction is due to an increase in the use of digital forms for internal and external communications.

In 2009, white paper was entirely replaced with hybrid paper and in 2012, 96% of the paper used was recycled. In 2013 hybrid paper has been also replaced with Recycled paper.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOUR

TONERS AND INK CARTRIDGES CONSUMPTION/WASTE

To calculate the consumption of toners and cartridges, the consumption is considered equal to the waste that is generated. The consumption recorded at each branch is different given that the collections are carried out separately at each branch by the waste manager. By branch, the highest consumption corresponds to the Hospitalet (Barcelona) branch with a larger number of copying and printing devices.

Due to the significant increase in toner consumption in last period, in 2012 has been set a goal to reduce it by 15% at the main Office (Hospitalet, Barcelona). In 2012 a reduction of 54% was achieved at much higher stated objective. In 2013 the increase in consumption/waste reflects that toner consumption has marked variability according to the period. The reason for this increase suggests an increase an increase in the number of documents printed with high ink consumption demand per unit of paper (catalogues and presentations).

Next period would be necessary to implement corrective actions in order to reduce the number of prints, the use of draft formats for the printer’s internal documents, use of ink-saving fonts (ecofont), etc.

NOISE

The source of the noise pollution generated by ADASA is its motor vehicles and some specific work carried out at the workshop located at the Hospitalet (Barcelona) Office. At some sites (when the use of machinery by subcontracted companies is required) some noise pollution peaks may occur. Even though, no corrective action was required to be taken in 2011 relative to the noise levels that were produced directly and indirectly.Some measures carried out to lower the noise levels generated by some of the activities include the use of equipment with noise damping devices (compressors), the selection of vehicles with low noise levels and the prohibiting of workshop tasks involving higher than normal noise levels (bridge crane), between 22:00 and 08:00 hours.

GAS R-22

Refrigerant gas R-22, which depletes the ozone is used in some air conditioning units that are installed at ADASA’s installations in Barcelona. Adequate maintenance is carried out on these units to detect leaks and abnormal operating conditions that may cause the gas to escape into the atmosphere.

During 2013, no recharging of the refrigeration circuits was required and therefore no replacements of R-22 gas for R417 gas have been carried out.

Changes will be made as and when maintenance activities are carried out.

EMISSIONS

19

DUST

ADASA generates dust emissions in projects requiring civil outsource. In order to minimize the environmental impact it’s necessary to carry out the following measures:

- Irrigate the soil especially during the summer months.- Place a tarp on top of the vehicle that generates dust.- Restrict traffic of machinery and vehicles.- Carry out the dustier activities when it affects less people.

EMISSIONS

GREENHOUSE GASES

The activities that ADASA carries out that directly emit greenhouse gases are travel by car, train and aircraft. Indirectly, CO2 is also emitted through the consumption of electrical power, which is in part obtained by burning fossil fuels.

To minimize the impact associated with these emissions, efficient driving techniques are promoted in order to save fuel, thus decreasing emissions, and periodic maintenance is conducted on vehicles.

Regarding travel during previous periods, the CO2 emissions were generated by travel in cars, but in 2011 and 2012, due to an increase in international activity, travel by train and air is also counted.

To carry out the calculation, the 2011 version of the guide for calculating Greenhouse gases from the OCCC – Catalan Office for Climate Change and the ICAO-International Civil Aviation Organisation (www.icao.int) has been used.

WASTE

In order to properly separate the waste, specific containers are available at the different office sites and waste areas are designated for storing each type of waste so that it can be subsequently collected by the authorized waste manager, which guarantees the assessment and specific treatment of the respective waste. The amounts and volume of generated waste is analyzed quarterly, based on the control and recording of the waste collection forms and the forms used for waste originating from the worksite.

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENSESMost of the organization’s environmental expenses correspond to waste management and preventive actions associated with the projects and personnel (training). In 2013, total expenses have been approximately 6.000€.

TOTAL WASTEIt has been recorded an important decrease in total waste per employee (60%) due to the variability of the waste generated depending on the projects developed in that period.

WASTE

OFFICE, WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY

The waste that is not selectively collected is generated by Hospitalet (Barcelona) and is managed by an authorized waste manager. Due to the small amount of waste generated at the rest of the centres, waste is managed using municipal containers.

PAPER AND CARDBOARD

Paper waste has decreased and data recorded per employee is 33,72 kg/employee, a 26% less than 2012.Awareness campaigns regarding the use of digital formats have been carried out in 2013 for personnel from the Organization and collaborators such as suppliers and subcontracted personnel.

PLASTIC

Plastic waste mainly originates from packaging and non-recycled containers. Packaging materials that are in good condition will be reused.

A tap water distilling unit was purchased in 2009 at Hospitalet (Barcelona), which decreased water container waste by more than 70% in 2010 since their purchase was no longer required.

In 2011, the use of laboratory equipment for reagent preparation tasks and R&D&I was continued and the amount of waste decreased once again by 40%.

In 2012, some cleaning activities in the Main Office’s warehouse (Hospitalet, Barcelona) has increased plastic waste by more than 100%. This increase is not significant because this clean up activity is considered punctual.

2013 has shown a decreasing trend that should be confirmed the next period.

WASTE

LABORATORY AND WORKSHOP

Laboratory waste is generated through the preparation and replacement of reagents for water quality analyzing equipment and of the waste reagents of the laboratory tests associated with R&D&I at the Hospitalet (Barcelona) laboratory.

ADASA laboratories generate chemical waste which may be a health and safety hazard for personnel and their accidental spillage may contaminate the environment.

Even though these chemicals are generated in small amounts, the separation of toxic and hazardous waste and their storage and final processing, are regulated by legislation and by ADASA’s Management System Procedures and Instructions:

- Waste Management:

- Environmental management laboratory safety

- Waste management at offices and worksite waste

- Management and control of spills

- Control of chemical substances

Table 5- Identification of ADASA laboratory and worksite waste

Page 25: ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT 2013

A 57% reduction in hazardous waste per employee has been achieved.

In 2013, a target reduction of 30% was set because of project’s execution decrease related to these waste reagents. In addition, the use of mitigating actions implanted in 2011 was maintained.The goal has been reached and it has recorded a 65% decrease respect to 2012. The indicator also shows an important decrease per employee (-59%).

FIELD WORK, CIVIL WORKS AND MAINTENANCE

ADASA manages and carries out an environmental control of the different projects to protect the environment and preserve employees’ health and safety.

A Quality, Environmental and Health&Safety Action Plan is drafted for each project to identify and assess the environmental hazards specific to the project and all the procedures and elements that must be taken into consideration to ensure correct environmental management; waste management, preventive and corrective actions, good environmental practice data sheets, etc. The Action Plan is presented to ADASA employees involved in the project as well as to all subcontracted companies and collaborators.Executed tasks are monitored through visits to the worksite and by conducting follow-up reports, visit reports and internal audit reports.

We guarantee that ADASA personnel and subcontracted companies will comply with the environ-mental requirements listed in the Action Plan and that the work is carried out without any harm to the environment. During this follow-up, a proper management of the waste, concrete spills or hazardous substance spills, dust control and the possible changes to the surroundings and ecosystems are monitored.

The waste generated at large worksites in which ADASA is involved as a subcontractor is generally collected in containers at the corresponding site.Otherwise, the waste is transported to the office warehouse where it is collected by the authorised manager.

With some projects, due to the type of waste or because of difficult logistics or transportation, the manager collects the waste directly from the site.
