The life, health and safety of people, and the respect for the environment are the highest priority for TRANSIERRA. This working philosophy was applied since the GASYRG construction phase and now during its operation its consolidated as an integral parte of our business management, which together with our quality management, brings us closer to reach our excellence vision.

TRANSIERRA currently performs its activities based upon an Integrated Management System, certified under the international norms of Quality: ISO 9001; Health and Safety: OHSAS 18001; Environmental Management: ISO 14001 and Social Accountability: SA 8000.

In this sense, all the company’s processes and activities have been implemented identifying and evaluating the associated risks and impacts for every activity. That’s how TRANSIERRA fulfills its operation with the most demanding Quality, Health, Safety, Environmental and Social Accountability norms, constantly seeking the Continual Improvement and guaranteeing the fulfillment of current legislation.

As part of its compromise with the Environment, Transierra has implemented - and successfully concluded on March 2004 – an ambitious Reforestation Program. It had an intense social connotation, involving indigenous people, communities and local governments around the areas; which participated in the seed recollection, seed growing and planting them at the Right of Way. Environmentally sensible areas were prioritized, continuing with the rest of the Right of Way in all its extension. Some key numbers in the Reforestation Program participation are 113 people during the seed recollection phase, 35 growing sites at local communities, 140 people from 13 communities neighboring the RoW during the plantation, totaling around 309 thousand plants from 30 different forestall local species

Transierra is strictly following-up the Row Reforestation process, performing annual measurements, forestry and re-plantation in order to consolidate those areas with less success according to the annual measurements. In this sense, on 2005 16 thousand new trees were planted; on 2006, 10 thousand; and at the beginning of 2007, 4 thousand; all of them from 15 different species. During the last two years, intense forestry tasks were performed in order to increase protection, care and underbush clean-up, so the already existing plants will have a better development.

On February 3rd 2007, was the 4th anniversary for Transierra without loss-time accidents; including in this statistics the Transierra’s workers as well as contractor’s workers, both at the office and the field facilities. This achievement is the result of the policies implemented through its Integrated Management System (IMS) under the OHSAS 18001 norm, of the daily effort of each worker including contractors, of the priority given to safe work during the activities execution, and of the concern with workers and society safety, through the implementation of the SA 8000 norm to the IMS.
