OUR ENVIRONMENTAL
AND SOCIAL ACTIONS (ODS)
Eztec develops programs and actions that seek continuous improvement of sustainability on its construction sites and in the surrounding communities. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our final product, always more sustainable and social, in accordance with current legislation.
GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
Eztec’s health and safety procedures are established by more than 30 people. The dissemination of information, qualifications and training are also important. When integrated into the Company, all employees are defined as safety rules, periodically reinforced Safety Dialogues (D). It also learns about the risks of its activities, duly selected by the safety technicians at the construction sites.
Specifically in relation to operations, the Company maps the risk factors in the different phases of the construction process, in order to avoid accidents and occupational diseases.
Medical services are the responsibility of the Human Resources area, together with Occupational Safety, covering information, examinations and guidance documents. Eztec maintains health promotion programs that include programs and leaflets with guidelines on the prevention and treatment of chemical dependence and sexually transmitted diseases.
QUALITY EDUCATION
In 2021, Eztec carried out more than 778 hours of training for 247 employees in total, considering the hierarchical levels starting with management. The pandemic limited opportunities for face-to-face training, so most were held online.
GENDER EQUALITY
The civil construction sector is predominantly male, especially considering the workforce at the construction sites. However, Eztec’s administrative profile presents a differential, with a strong female presence, which reaches 45% of the contingent in the offices. Another highlight is the appreciation of women in leadership, with an increasing number in management positions. Currently, 34 of them occupy positions of Supervision, Coordination, Management and Superintendence.
CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
To ensure water savings in operations, Eztec has a target for consumption of potable water (accumulated) per square meter built, as well as implements and maintains several actions to reduce consumption at construction sites, such as:
• Wheel wash with water reuse system;
• System for capturing and using rainwater;
• Reuse of water from the hand wash basin in the urinal;
• Water reuse in irrigation system;
• Signs to raise awareness of the rational use of water at construction sites and in the office;
• Development and construction of an enterprise with devices to reduce water consumption.
AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
Eztec consumed 11,378.51 gigajoules (GJ) of energy in 2021. Measuring and monitoring energy consumption, also included in the indicators of the Company’s Quality Management System, are essential to reduce impacts on the environment and costs of operation. The main initiatives related to reducing the developer’s energy consumption are based on:
• Preventive maintenance of equipment and attention to specifications related to the need to replace parts and/or components, always aiming at the best performance and efficiency;
• Acquisition and use of critical equipment – cranes, mini-guides and racks, among others – that present greater energy efficiency, such as, for example, with the ENCE label or the PROCEL and CONPET seals;
• Use, whenever possible, of timers (photocells) with activation only when necessary;
• Signage to raise awareness of the rational use of energy at construction sites and offices;
• Study on environmental certifications that include energy efficiency, such as LEED, AQUA and Procel Edificações.
DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
Eztec has started a cultural mapping that should last up to three years, in order to improve people management at all levels.
The real estate developer values teamwork and interaction between areas, promotes training and career development programs for technical and administrative teams, to train and retain talent, also reinforcing engagement.
In 2021, the Company created 561 jobs. Employees have the following benefits: health and gym plan with co-payment and membership, dental plan, life insurance offered in accordance with collective agreement, food/meal vouchers and payment of fuel according to eligibility. Profit sharing (PLR) is determined by the agreement signed annually.
In 2021, Eztec carried out more than 778 hours of training for 247 employees in total, considering the hierarchical levels starting with management.
SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES
Eztec’s deep expertise in rehabilitating areas for declared use is recognized by the market. The Company carefully follows the legislation applicable to contaminated areas, having as main guide the Board Decision No. 038/2017/CETESB, which provides for the approval of the “Procedure for the Protection of Soil and Groundwater Quality”, the revision of the “Procedure for the Management of Contaminated Areas” and establishes the “Guidelines for the Management of Contaminated Areas in the Scope of Environmental Licensing”, pursuant to State Law No. 13,577/2009 and its regulation, approved by means of Decree No. 59,263/2013.
The risk assessment guides the Intervention Plan, in which the necessary measures are defined for the safe use of the area of interest, according to the future occupation. The entire process is evaluated by the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo (CETESB), which issues a favorable opinion on the proposed plan, allowing the project to be licensed by the competent municipal body and the start of the implementation of intervention measures.
RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
Eztec performs the complete management of materials and waste, comprising the stages of generation, segregation, packaging, identification, collection, transport, storage, treatment and final destination, prioritizing recycling.
In 2021, the Company generated 21,988 tons of waste. The largest volumes were of rubble (16,701 tons), wood (1,732 tons) and gypsum (1,438 tons). These and other residues were sent to recyclers or sorting and transshipment areas for proper processing.
CLIMATE ACTION
Eztec counts greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on the main methodologies used in corporate inventories (GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and World Resources Institute/World Business Council for Sustainable Development), meeting the growing demand of construction. The initiative is motivated by increasingly solid ESG policies in the sector and has guided investors, developers and builders in the establishment of carbon footprint reduction goals.
LIFE BELOW WATER
Water collection is carried out through the public network and, when necessary, by water trucks for the works. Disposal takes place through the public sewer system. The drainage of surface water from the soil is carried out in accordance with best practices, mitigating possible impacts.
LIFE ON LAND
Motivated by increasingly solid ESG policies in the sector, it has guided investors, developers and construction companies in the establishment of carbon footprint reduction goals, even with the complexity of using these indicators in engineering and construction.
As a first result, the Company recorded a reduction in gross emissions, from 226.97 tCO2e in 2020 to 196.25 tCO2e in 2021.
PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS
