How to reach the goals?
Betting on the Company partnership with the
environment is to assure its existence in the future.
Believing in the aforementioned statement, AGCO
has stipulated its Environmental Policy and the
implementation for its consolidation, by the
implementation of an Environmental Management
system and a Cleaner Production Program.
14.2 - ISO 14000
ISO 14000 is a set of Standard defined by
International Standards Organization (ISO) to
standardize the environmental management. The
ISO 14000 is comprised by 6 groups of Standard,
each one approaching a subject related to
environmental issue.
For AGCO, the Standard 14001 is valid, which deals
with the environmental management system.
14.3 - Environmental Management System
The Environmental Management System - SGA
(Sistema de Gestão Ambiental) is a set of
procedures to manage or administrate a company
to obtain the best relationship with the environment.
This system implementation aims to completely
analyze the company’s activities, products and
services related to their influence on the
environment and assume a continuous commitment
with the environmental quality.
14.4 - Environmental Issues
Greenhouse effect
This is the increasing of the planet temperature due
to the accumulation of carbonic gas (CO) and
methane gas (CH
4
) in the atmosphere. The excess
of carbonic gas is generated by industrial process,
fossil combustible consumption and forests
burning.
“The increased heating of the planet can melt down
the polar ice caps and cause floods”.
Reduction of the ozone layer.
The Ozone (O
3
) acts as a solar filter on the highest
layers in the atmosphere, protecting us from the
action of hazard rays. Some gases, such as
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), used in refrigeration
industry, destroy the ozone, causing a “hole” on
the ozone layer. “As a result, it is estimated that
100,000 people around the world suffer skin cancer
each year.”
