Protecting the environment is a core fundamental of our operations. It affects how Israel Corp. operates its businesses and, increasingly, its investment philosophy. As a major provider of basic resources and materials, Israel Corp. believes it has a special responsibility to protect the environment. Therefore, it promotes a group-wide organizational culture that values and encourages environmental awareness and environmentally responsible products and processes.
Environmental efforts taken by Israel Corp. group companies include:
- initiating enforcement programs to verify compliance with the strictest environmental regulations and beyond;
- investing in processes for saving energy and natural resources;
- reducing greenhouse gas emissions through transition to clean fuels;
- implementing Responsible Care programs with the goal of reducing the environmental impact of products throughout their lifecycle;
- increasing environmental transparency by appointing top-level management to manage and oversee environmental activities.
Further, Israel Corp.s vision and investment approach are being driven, in part, by its growing understanding that environmental responsibility is critical for the survival of our planet and that alternative solutions are required for basic needs like energy, food, and transportation. This awareness has led management to identify business opportunities in the environmental sector with high potential value which the company is acting to capitalize on, through its foresight, resources, experience and global network.
Israel Corp.'s environmentally-friendly initiatives, which comprise a growing portion of its new investments, include investments such as:
- Project Better Place which is creating the infrastructure to support electric-powered vehicles that will reduce harmful emissions:
- IC Green Energy which is investing in the high growth alternative energy market, in particular, companies engaged in renewable energy sources such as solar energy and bio fuels;
