Our Commitment to Sustainable Development
At Brookfield Power, we pride ourselves on contributing positively
to the communities in which we operate. From an environmental
perspective, that means we are continually striving to minimize
our impact on the environment, while balancing the need for
economic growth for the company and these communities.
With nearly 100 years of operating experience in the power
industry, we are building a track record of achievements and
recognition for our efforts. While this balance is sometimes
a hard one to achieve 100% of the time, the initiatives we
undertake and the investments we make in building our company
are guided by our core set of values around sustainable development.
Very simply, we:
Commit to the principle that our business
decisions will address social issues, including the long term
sustainability of communities, taking into account the current
and future environmental, safety, health and economic considerations.
Ensure that effective management systems
in all our facilities are in place to minimize risks to the
environment, safety, health and communities.
Comply with all applicable legislation,
regulation and with other practices. In the case of the acquisition
of an existing facility that is out of compliance, our goal
is operate these facilities in compliance as soon as practicable.
Establish clear objectives and targets
to meet and/or exceed North American standards.
Communicate openly and on a timely basis
with employees, the public, government officials, and other
stakeholders on activities involving environment, safety and
health.
Conduct regular assurance audits and self-evaluations
of our management systems, programs and activities.
