Integrated Management System

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Infraquinta, E.M. is the company that manages the infra-structures in Quinta do Lago. It is integrated in the protected area of Ria Formosa Natural Park and is responsible for the management of the water supply systems, basic sanitation, waste, green areas, etc. According to the characteristics of its intervention area and in the pursuit of its activity, our company has always developed many actions to prevent the existence of negative environmental impacts.

It was important to demonstrate that not only the philosophy but also the strategic management of the company was environmentally sustainable. For these reasons, since 2002 it has been considered as essential to give credit to our environmental performance as a way of reinforcing the prestige of the company both to the residents and to other public and private partners.

In order to demonstrate a commitment to continuous and proactive growth of our activity, an ISO 14001 environmental certification process was initiated in 2003, developing an Environmental Management System, certified by APCER, referenced in a series of voluntary, generic and global standards which became the basis of an environmental policy that directs the company to improve procedures and processes.

At the beginning of 2010, Infraquinta extended the scope of its Environmental Management System Certification to its entire area of intervention. The last certificate obtained includes: "The Environmental Management System implemented in the management of municipal infrastructure and public spaces of Quinta do Lago and adjacent areas, fulfills the requirements of the norm NP EN ISO 14001: 2012".

In March 2012, Infraquinta obtained the ISO 9001 Quality Certification, whose main objective is customer satisfaction. That is, the client assumes a central position in the system, both in the planning of this system and, through the return on its perception, in its revision and improvement. The last certificate obtained includes: "The quality management system implemented in the management of municipal infrastructures and spaces of Quinta do Lago and adjacent areas, fulfills the requirements of the norm NP EN ISO 9001: 2008".
