📋 Tender Overview
This June 5 commemorates World Environment Day, a date promoted by the United Nations and adopted by numerous countries in order to promote collective awareness about the protection of natural resources and the need to adopt sustainable practices. This year, the central motto is to end plastic pollution, in response to one of the most urgent environmental challenges facing the planet. Environmental commitment in each work The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), through its Directorate of Socio Environmental Management (DGSA), is responsible for ensuring compliance with national and international regulations in environmental and social matters, thus promoting the development of sustainable infrastructure. Environmental management is an integral part of the design, execution and monitoring of the works, with the aim of minimizing the negative impacts and promoting responsible practices in each intervention. Contribution to the fight against plastic waste The MOPC also contributes to the reduction of plastic pollution through water cleaning work in different areas of the country, in many cases at the request of municipal governments. These water courses are usually affected by the accumulation of solid waste, mostly plastic, which obstruct their natural functioning and generate environmental and sanitary risks. From the institution it is recalled that, although the MOPC fulfills its responsibility in the management in this area, the active participation of citizens is key to sustaining the results over time. Avoiding waste in public spaces and bodies of water, reducing the use of single -use plastics and adopting more sustainable daily practices are fundamental steps to preserve the environment and guarantee a better quality of life for future generations.
