COLLABORATION AND EFFICIENCY MEAN A CROSS-SECTION AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM IN THE EGF OPERATIONS.
The coordination between cross-sectional areas and the scale that joint action allows has led EGF to a remarkable efficiency and to better performance.
The coordination between the technical, financial, procurement, communication and human resources areas are just a few examples of the persistent work of several teams and working groups. Among these, we should note:
1. Harmonisation of concepts, namely
to fill in the Municipal Waste Registration Map, and harmonisation of technical and financial concepts to ensure the consistency of the information;
2. The realisation and implementation of the practical guide for the reduction of the energy bill;
3. Standardisation of containers in the Group;
4. Preparation and submission of multiple applications for European funds;
5. The SAP implementation in Resinorte and Valorsul, available from 01/01/2020, date from which all of the Group’s companies will already be using this system, which enables standardising processes and harmonising the information.
In addition to the synergies between EGF and the concessionaires, the growing
intra-group collaboration is noteworthy, enabling better response and coordination on several fronts, such as landfill cell construction services, specialised technical maintenance, transport of goods, planning and design of infrastructure, and procurement of goods and services, in
a centralised manner.
