Globacorp Developments International Environmental Policy
A word from our Founder...
In a world that´s ever more densely populated and with resources that are increasingly over utilized, we all need to think and act more responsibly, both as individuals and as businesses.
But if we are honest with ourselves, striking the right balance between our business needs and meaningful corporate responsibility is not an easy task. However, a company like Globacorp is well placed to take a lead, not only because of the work we do, but also because of what we believe in.
Some years ago, we set out for ourselves an unambiguous statement of purpose: To sustain and improve the quality of people´s lives while causing minimal negative impact on the environment. It is this that has given direction to corporate responsibility in Globacorp.
For us, it´s about establishing genuinely sustainable and positive engagement with the communities we develop and the people we work with. This entails strong leadership at all levels in the company, not only in the way we conduct our business, but also in the way we contribute outside of it.
It involves having a strong set of principles about where we develop, whom we partner with, the people we work with and how we conduct ourselves. It means investing time, effort and resources to create a legacy that does not compromise future generations. It also means empowering our people with belief and the ability to shape their own footprint, improve their communities and contribute to their nation´s evolution.
One of the most satisfying outcomes from introducing our environmental policies and procedures, at the project level, is watching the team discover the value of what they have achieved. We have undertaken many activities to improve our environmental performance since our inception. Some have encouraged us by achieving and exceeding the targets we had set. Other activities have not produced the results we had anticipated and we are learning to adapt and identify new approaches to accomplish our policy objectives.
Our continuing challenge is to better understand the impact of our activities on the environment, to become increasingly adjusted to seeking and adapting opportunities to increase our environmental performance as a team and to continually inspire our philosophy as the organization grows in size.
Together, these things breathe life into our core belief that we should always strive to make a positive difference in the world.
This environmental policy provides you with an insight into how we translate this belief into practical, meaningful action. I hope it helps to demonstrate our commitment to the responsibilities we have, both as individuals and a corporation.
Sincerely,
John S. Cornacchia
