Evaluation of the Four Strategic Areas
The EcoVadis analysis verified the compliance and maturity of processes in both the construction phase (GRS) and the operation and maintenance phase (GRS O&M) across the following operational pillars:
-
Environment: Actions focused on carbon footprint reduction, resource efficiency, and environmental management from project design through its operational lifespan.
-
Labor & Human Rights: Protocols that guarantee health and safety in both engineering and technical field operations, promoting equality and respect for human rights.
-
Ethics & Governance: Active policies for transparency, best practices, and regulatory compliance throughout asset management.
-
Sustainable Procurement: Integration of environmental and social criteria into supply chain qualification and vendor contracting.
Operational Implications for Partners and Clients
This joint achievement externally validates the standards of both companies, making it easier for commercial allies, asset owners, and investors to manage their own objectives and requirements:
-
Tenders and Contracts: Simplification of validation processes in bidding documents with ESG requirements, for both EPC contracts and long-term O&M agreements.
-
Risk Control: Minimization of ethical, environmental, or operational contingencies throughout all stages of the photovoltaic project lifecycle.
-
Corporate Reporting: Availability of audited data for direct integration into clients’ sustainability and performance reports.
This milestone backs the integrated operating model of GRS and GRS O&M to ensure the optimal development and performance of energy infrastructures under criteria of global responsibility.
