1. PURPOSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

The Environmental Policy is intended to be extend to all employees related to the company
and its devotion to leadership in the development of clean energy and respect for the environment.
In this regard, the company’s management believes the environment to be a central element of
the concept of sustainability, and particularly one of the three pillars for reaching a sustainable
energy model, together with competitiveness and the safety of supply. Our company aware of its
potential to contribute to the preservation and protection of the environment, has voluntarily assu-
med the responsibility to lead the fight against climate change and to preserve biodiversity. Our
company also conceives of respect for the environment as one of the corporate values that
determines its entire business strategy, as it is key to the configuration of a sustainable energy
model, which in the environmental dimension translates into lower emissions and greater
efficiency and the production and use of energy, as well as in complying with environmental laws
and regulations. Given all of the above, through a policy of transparent information and a strategy
of constant dialogue, our company responds to the expectations of its investors with respect to
the preservation of the environment, ever more stringent regulatory requirements, and constant
scrutiny of management by analysts, assessors, and various agents of civil society.

2. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

This Environmental Policy applies to all employees of the company, as well as to all investees
not belonging to the company over which the company has effective control, within the lawfully
established limits. At those companies in which the company has an interest and to which this
policy does not apply, the company will promote, through its representatives on the boards of
directors of such companies, the alignment of their own policies with those of the company. This
environmental policy shall also apply, to the extent relevant, to the contractors acting in the name
of the company, as well as to the joint ventures, temporary joint ventures, and other equivalent
associations, if the company assumes the management thereof.

operations, the company regard compliance with the law as the minimum standard to be achieved
and will put in place additional environmental programmes to go beyond compliance where

7. WASTE MANAGEMENT

7.1 Waste Transfer

The disposal of chemical waste is controlled by the Occupational Safety and Health Act
1994. This legislation places four main responsibilities on this organizations who produce
controlled waste which are:

a) To ensure that the person or company collecting waste is a registered waste carrier.
b) To ensure that all of the waste is securely packaged or contained.
c) To ensure that a description of the waste is given to the registered waste carrier.
d) To ensure that a waste transfer note is completed and a copy give to the registered carrier.

The collection of the waste is most commonly organized by the client organization. However,
operation managers will ensure that disposal is via a registered carrier and that the transfer
note completed by the client includes a description of the chemical waste. Waste will be
prevented from spilling or leaking whilst awaiting collection. Waste stored outside will
therefore be stored in secure, lidded containers and must be securely tied. All drums must

4
 have secure lids and skips must be covered. The operation manager will ensure that at least
one waste transfer note is completed per year unless there is a material change in the nature
of the waste or the registered carrier.

8. TRANSPORT

programme in order to promote their energy efficiency.

vehicles is kept to a minimum by careful planning of activities in order to minimize the
number of journeys undertaken.
