Teaming Up with Suppliers

Environmental Compliance Monitoring

 
We monitor environmental compliance on most of our jobsites to ensure that suppliers meet our requirements.
 
Non-compliance
with environmental requirements may involve various consequences, from a violation notice accompanied by a remedial action plan to financial penalties.
 
Once the work is completed, we reserve the right to do an overall evaluation of the way suppliers fulfilled their obligations, including environmental compliance. In general, contractors meet our requirements.
 
Some Examples
 
Environmental compliance officers are always present on many project jobsites, including Péribonka, Chute-Allard and Rapides-des-Coeurs. Compliance reports are produced periodically.
A new checklist will ensure that our suppliers comply with the environmental requirements in contracts related to generating facilities. When the work has been completed, the suppliers' environmental performance is evaluated.
We monitor the environmental qualifications of the contractors who control vegetation in the distribution system.
We trained our road maintenance contractors and the contract officer at the La Grande complex on setting up recovery areas that meet Hydro-Québec's specifications.
We audited suppliers involved in the construction of the new radioactive waste storage facilities at Gentilly-2 generating station. No instances of non-compliance were noted.
