Growing interest in prevention and education as far as prevention is concerned has given forth to a fundamental change in favour of a solid strategy for protection of the environment and a sound management philosophy. The double nature of the advantages – ecological and economical – that result from preventing pollution is at the heart of a long-term development strategy and constitutes the cornerstone of our action-plan.

Preventing pollution is the most efficient solution for protecting our environment, eliminating costly waste and promoting long-term development.

Preventing pollution emphasizes the elimination of pollutants at their source rather than managing them once they are there.

The different prevention programmes will stimulate innovation that will contribute to reducing operational costs, enhance the efficiency of different operations and thus assure an efficient protection of the environment.
