1.3 Section 3: about Environmental Impact Assessment
We believe in maintaining the delicate balance between our gas business and the
environment and that why we are working hard to ensure that both thrive while remaining
fully committed to improving our safety and environmental performance. This
commitment goes beyond satisfying safety requirements or Regulatory compliance to
achieving socio-economic profit and the guarantee of sustainable development while
maintaining the profitability of business and projects. In our operations and projects, we
insist on selecting best alternatives among those available that may conserve the
environment and achieve our objectives of the project balancing economic progress with
environmental care and social responsibility. Among the instrumental tools GASCO
implement to achieve superior environmental performance is the environmental impact
assessment (EIA). This study is concerned with the changes that occur to environment
conditions or the occurrence of new environment conditions whether negative or positive
that may directly result from certain action or actions, activities, products and service.
The domain of this study is selecting best alternatives among those available that may
conserve the environment and achieve the objectives of the project.
GASCO has adopted an Environmental Management System (EMS) that, while meeting
the highest environmentally recognized standards, identifies potential environmental
threats posed by business operations while pursing our quest for zero accident, zero harm
or damage to the environment, properties or people.
