Environmental sustainability

Construction projects have a substantial impact on global environmental resources. Archirodon is committed to taking proactive steps to protect, maintain and recover a healthy natural environment by implementing sustainability principles in relevant project-related processes, wherever possible.  

Considering the effect of our related activities we implement environmentally friendly policies and management practices. These policies and practices cover the complete project lifecycle from the sustainable procurement and responsible use of raw materials to the efficient consumption of natural resources and reduction of generated emissions and waste.   

Environmental protection actions

Our commitment to delivering a better world, shapes our environmental approach and our continuous efforts to minimize the adverse environmental impact of the construction activities under our control.

environmental initiatives

  • Introduction of indigenous plant species that have a higher survival rate, require less water and are more easily integrated into most of our site offices, to maintain the ecology and biodiversity of each area and the unique character of the landscape.
  • Appointment of certified Protected Species Observers (PSO) in projects located in environmentally sensitive locations to reduce impact on protected species including marine mammals, turtles and other megafauna.
  • Implementation of recycling programs for non-hazardous and hazardous waste that include among others: paper, plastic, aluminum cans, printing cartridges, wood, steel, concrete, alkaline batteries, fluorescent bulbs, waste lubricants and lead acid batteries, wherever feasible in projects and offices.
  • Installation and use of wastewater treatment systems, to reduce the quantity of wastewater disposed of, increase the use of treated wastewater and reduce the use of freshwater supply, thus minimizing the use of natural resources in projects.
  • Introduction of a technical procedure for the recycling of concrete wastewater in our projects to minimize the disposal of wash water from concrete ready-mix trucks and batching plants in order to further reduce use of fresh water supply.
  • Reduction of water consumption with water-efficient fixtures in selected offices and projects.
  • Cooperation with local suppliers in all our projects, to reduce emissions from the transportation of raw materials on site facilities.
  • Investing in new technologies for plant and equipment able to improve performance, efficiency and lower generation of emissions.
  • Organizing and participating in environmental campaigns organized on multiple projects focused on the environmental sensitivities of each project.
