Environmental aspects
Environmental policy
Environmental focus is a guiding principle in all of Pöyry's activities and it also forms an important part of the Group's services. The Group's guidelines for consulting and engineering work are in harmony with international rules and regulations concerning the environment.
In environmental matters, the consultant's primary responsibility is to support the client in achieving his environmental objectives. It is the consultant's task to help the client solve any business-related environmental or other problems and to help the client company improve its competitiveness. To this end, the consultant will work with the client to explore the environmental and community aspects of the project at hand and inform the client about the opportunities offered by the most modern technologies and solutions.
Environmental aspects in consulting and engineering
Via its national umbrella organisations, Pöyry is a member of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers, FIDIC, and accordingly complies with the FIDIC Policy Statement on Consulting Engineers and the Environment in its consulting and engineering activities. The policy statement outlines a general framework for integrating environmental aspects into the decision-making process related to consulting and engineering assignments. In addition, the policy statement contains both general and project-specific recommendations for taking into account environmental requirements in engineering work.
Within the framework of the FIDIC policy statement, Pöyry is continuously striving to apply ecologically sustainable procedures and engineering solutions. A responsible consultant must have the engineering tools and procedures needed to identify, analyse and assess the impacts of different actions on the environment and community. Pöyry encourages its clients to adopt designs solutions, which promote sustainable development and assumes responsibility for its recommendations. However, the environmental impacts of a project are always examined against the background of the client's business and requirements. |
