We prioritize care of the environment while maintaining a preventive attitude. We care for our natural and social environment and pursue the efficient use of natural resources in all of our activities.
We have integrated environmental issues into all stages, ranging from design and construction to transmission system operation, with a multidisciplinary and preventive outlook that goes beyond legal provisions. This focus enables the identification and timely evaluation of possible environmental impacts, the analysis of route alternatives, verification of standards and the design of appropriate mitigation, compensation and/or restitution measures as required.

We play an active role in connecting renewable energy sources to the system and we commit to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Climate change poses risks and opportunities for our business. It is part of our new Sustainability Policy and we are moving toward systematic management of this issue. We are designing a corporate strategy focused on two perspectives in order to address risks: mitigation and adaptation at existing operations, as well as adaptation at new projects. In addition, there are new opportunities for our role in the connection and transmission of renewable energy sources into the electricity system, thus contributing to Chile’s efforts to mitigate climate change.
