SUSTAINABILITY
Environment
We are committed to being an environmental steward by implementing the best technology available where applicable to minimize our environmental footprint and promote sustainable business best practices.
We actively work to ensure our construction activities are conducted in an environmentally conscious manner, and incorporate environmental safety precautions into the HSE processes and protocols at each construction site.
These environmental commitments in addition to our basic obligations are to comply with all environmental regulations and other requirements.
This is integral to the safety training of all employees who are responsible for protecting the environment, their health and the health of others in the community. Environmental preservation entails reducing all kinds of pollution as well as controlling and regulating raw materials, energy and water.
Orascom Construction PLC's management is committed to setting and periodic review of quality and environmental objectives and targets including required resources.
OUR PRINCIPLES
Safe Construction Sites
Each of our construction brands has developed stringent rules and regulations that are implemented and enforced on all projects and tailored to meet the unique environments of the locations in which they operate.
Prior to the start of any construction project, a safety and accident prevention plan is prepared stating the health and safety rules to be applied in the project, how to conduct safe work, and preserve personnel, property, and equipment.

Employees are also provided with ongoing safety training during projects, beginning with an induction session prior to arriving on site. Weekly tool-box meetings are conducted to keep the workers aware of the safety hazards associated with their specific tasks. Safety personnel are trained and certified by recognized international safety organizations, including OSHA and NEBOSH.
