The System is supported by an organisational structure that is composed of a
Sustainability Committee and a Committee for the Environmental Management System (EMS Committee).
The Sustainability Committee comprises of Group managers from the corporate departments
that are most involved in implementing social and environmental policies and CSR
Officers from all the countries/areas where the Group has operations. It is a
decision-making body which defines, evaluates and reviews the Group environmental
policies, objectives and targets.
The EMS Committee is an operative body consisting of the Group EMS Representative
and Country EMS Representatives. It is responsible for disseminating and attaining
the objectives contained in the Environmental Policy, evaluates the EMS’ services
according to the terms defined in the Group objectives and targets for environmental
improvement document, and, in the event of a failure to attain them, proposes
potential intervention actions.
The task of coordinating the Committees and drafting documentation for the System
at the Group level is carried out by the Corporate Social Responsibility unit.
Each country also has a Country CSR Committee, which are operative bodies that
coordinate the activities of disseminating and adopting Environmental Policy,
approve the Country Environmental Programme, and evaluate the suitability of the
actions proposed by the individual companies with the policies, objectives and
goals of the country.
Furthermore, in certain countries, there are national support structures for
the Country CSR Committees which have solely environmental powers.
