The Environmental Policy adopted by the Ansaldo STS Group is consistent with the commitment to the development of products which are intended to increase the safety, effectiveness and effi ciency of some of the most environmentally friendly transport systems available: rail transport systems, railways, metros and tram systems.
 

In fact, developing ever higher performing products means, in environmental terms, an even more attractive offer of passenger and freight transport services: a safer, faster, more punctual and more frequent circulation of trains attracts a higher number of users, while significantly reducing the use of less environmentally friendly transport systems.
 

Within its organisation, Ansaldo STS, consistently with its mission, involves all of its staff in the reduction and control of the environmental impact resulting from its business through the definition of well-defined targets and responsibilities. By doing so, Ansaldo STS aims at being recognised as one of the leading companies as regards environmental preservation and protection.
 

Ansaldo STS undertakes:

• to improve its activities also for the purpose of reducing its overall impact in terms of climate-altering emissions in the atmosphere;

• to work in compliance with the legal provisions applicable to its procedures, through the formalisation of procedures which support the knowledge of the relevant legislative framework;

• to prevent environmental pollution;

• to identify significant direct and indirect environmental issues for offices and sites in order to control and monitor impacts on the environments;

• to involve staff, suppliers and contractors in the environmental issues, raising their awareness on this subject;

• to improve environmental performance through the achievement of increasingly ambitious targets and objectives, consistently with the technological progress of the sector and with the budgeted expenses;

• to define indicators for a straightforward monitoring of performances;

• to start an open dialogue with the Public Authorities, the communities and the public, aimed at raising awareness of the real environmental impacts and cooperating to update environmental regulations.

This policy is based on the application of the requirements of the relevant rule UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 and of any other relevant rules applied at an international level, on the full compliance with national and international regulations in force on the matter, developing a program focused on the continuous improvement of environmental standards.

The policy is notified and circulated to all employees of Ansaldo STS and to all the interested parties through the web and the company intranet network.
