Conference summary
LIPOR – Intermunicipal Waste Management Service of Greater Porto – was founded in 1982 as Municipality Association and manages, recovers, and treats the municipal waste produced in eight municipalities of the Greater Porto Area: Espinho, Gondomar, Maia, Matosinhos, Porto, Póvoa de Varzim, Valongo, and Vila do Conde. At the same time, we continue to share good practices with the population, which are supported by awareness campaigns.
Since its very beginning, LIPOR adopted an approach to Sustainability as a complementary objective to its core activity, which consists of managing and recovering municipal waste produced in its 8 Associated Municipalities, and as a permanent, integral part of its Business.
This transversal Sustainability Agenda, which reflects a comprehensive vision of the Organisation itself, combines LIPOR’s material issues, its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Projects developed by the Organisation.
The main principles of action promote a close relationship with Stakeholders, by appreciating PEOPLE, being in tune with the PLANET, projecting PROSPERITY, and creating value through PARTNERSHIPS.
In order to lead the way for new trends, some emerging issues are also identified and considered in the Agenda: namely Decarbonisation, Biodiversity and Circular Economy.
