Occupational Health and Safety
La cuarta fase de la privatización de EDP, se llevó a cabo durante el mes de octubre del año 2000, siendo vendida por el Estado Portugués una posición equivalente al 20,0 % del capital de la empresa, equivalente a 600 millones de acciones (valor posterior al stock-split).
Después de la sesión bursátil especial que se llevó a cabo el 23 de octubre de 2000, el Estado Portugués disminuyó su participación en la empresa del 50,8 %, que tenía anteriormente, al 31,3 % (directa e indirectamente). Se atribuyó un premio de lealtad de 1 acción por cada 10 acciones suscritas y retenidas por más de un año a pequeños accionistas suscriptores, emigrantes y trabajadores de EDP..
At EDP, occupational health and safety (OH&S) are built with the everyone’s commitment and participation.
Occupational safety and health are critical values for the sustainable development of the EDP Group. The importance that EDP gives to this issue goes well beyond mere compliance with legal requirements. It is spelled out in our occupational safety and health policy, which focuses on the strategic goal of “Zero accidents, no personal harm”, and it applies to our entire corporate universe in the different countries where we operate.
The OH&S goals are set by the EDP Group and by each particular company, with the purpose of controlling the risk of occupational accidents and professional diseases, as well as of maintaining or obtaining the OHSAS 18001 certification for each particular safety management system.
It is therefore our intention to pursue and consolidate a positive safety culture, with the participation and involvement of all employees, service providers and suppliers, promoting it among local communities and all stakeholders who may be affected by the normal course of our activities.
