Introduction

After the ownership change of 27 November 2007, the Board of Directors set up the Environmental Directorate to be devoted exclusively to relevant aspects of environmental management at company level. Operation of the Cahora Bassa dam is associated with a series of environmental impacts that require an objective and strategic approach. This approach seeks to constitute HCB as a company that can respond fully to all the challenges of mitigating environmental impacts and the projection of these in complying with the ISO14001 norms.
