Descripción
FAO recognizes climate change and environmental degradation as threats to the planet and to the credibility and effectiveness of the Organization. Hence, it daily strives to responsibly manage the environmental aspects of its functional operations – i.e. facilities management, air travel and fleet, procurement. While making continual improvement in its environmental performance, FAO has sealed the commitment to be a good environmental steward by launching its Corporate Environmental Responsibil ity Policy on the occasion of the 2016 World Environment Day. The Policy applies to FAO headquarters and decentralized offices and provides criteria for the management of environmental risks related to internal operational areas . FAO has a holistic global environmental responsibility framework and, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, it has embedded environmental protection into activities by: a. Maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing all sources of the Greenhouse Gas Emission s; b. Implementing a circular economy strategy through sustainable procurement and waste management; c. Greening the logistic aspects related to meetings and conferences.
