ESMS
Green Roof developed and implementing an IFC-compliant ESMS, which describes the arrangements and requirements for managing environmental, health, safety and social impacts associated with the construction and operation of the Green Roof rooftop solar projects in Vietnam and Indonesia.
The ESMS describes the key actions required to be taken along with the responsible party. The ESMS applies to Green Roof and to the contactors working on Green Roof’s projects, who shall in turn ensure that the requirements are applied as relevant to all subcontractors.
The ESMS manual provides a structured approach to managing the HSSE issues, risks and impacts associated with projects funded Green Roof in a planned and controlled manner, and ensuring continuous improvement of HSSE performance, by applying the established management cycle of:
- Plan: Define policies and objectives, identify risks and opportunities, develop action plans and allocate financial and human resources for implementation.
- Do: Implement action plans with allocated resources.
- Check: Monitor and evaluate the adequacy of action plans and resources by measuring results against policies and objectives.
- Act: Implement corrective actions to improve performance.
Green Roof has prepared and is implementing various management programmes and procedures to meet the HSSE commitments and standards adopted for the rooftop solar projects.
SAFETY
We aim for Goal Zero which means no harm to people and no harm to the environment through our activities. We believe Goal Zero is achievable and everyone working for Green Roof strives to achieve this goal each day.
Green Roof and its contractors are required to have a systematic approach to the management of Health, Safety, Security, the Environment (HSSE). We expect all of our employees and contractors to not only comply with the requirements, but to consistently seek ways to improve safety – whether they work at sites or in an office.
