In this context, potential risks with environmental impact could arise with spills of hazardous substances and consequent contamination of the soil and aquifers or surface waters, or with emissions into the atmosphere or water above specific prescribed limits, the treatment of waste not compliant with the reference legislation with repercussions on plant operations, unintentional fires that may cause interruptions to plant operations and pollution of the surrounding areas, as well as the failure to make investments or carry out works on the plants, with impact on the Company’s management due to delays in the issue of authorisations; finally, environmental exposure can be caused by noise, odour and dust produced during extraordinary maintenance of the plants.
