Cabo Verde Handling defines and adopts a policy committed to quality, developed in its own manual (Quality Management Manual), based on the implementation of a Process Management program, in the areas of Safety, Security, Quality and Health and Safety at Work, this allowing a permanent evaluation and integration of the Systems and the results within the scope of the Quality Control Program. It promotes and encourages continuous improvement in order to guarantee high levels of performance in our services, with a view to exceeding the expectations of customers and other interested parties.
Employees are encouraged to voluntarily report working conditions, practices or events that pose risks to the safety of people and goods or threats to the environment, so that these risks can be evaluated and mitigated, always on a basis of non-retaliation to who reports.
Working safely and in an environmentally correct way are essential conditions for the necessary sustainability.
Action Plan to reduce carbon emissions in international aviation
As part of the Action Plan to reduce carbon emissions in international aviation, and the consequent plan at national level, CV Handling, as an integrant, among other measures, has made a commitment to replace its current fleet of GSE – Ground Support Equipment, which is essentially powered by fossil fuels, with clean fuels, electric and/or renewable systems.
The strategic vision of CV Handling’s GSE transition to electric mobility equipment at Cape Verde’s international airports involves the gradual replacement of the current fleet, equipped with thermal engines (diesel), with clean equipment which does not emit greenhouse gases, with the aim of neutralising carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
CV Handling’s main mitigation measures:
✓ Replacing vehicles with thermal engines (fossil fuels) with clean equipment (without greenhouse gas emissions);
✓Replacing conventional vehicles with electric vehicles;
✓Replacing conventional light bulbs with LED bulbs;
✓Prioritising pedestrian boarding.
CV Handling assumes the challenge of the energy transition as a response to the national objectives set and aligned with international trends in the sector, having already begun the transition to electric equipment.
