Fuel-Handling Facility in Galapagos Earns Environmental Certification
On December 15th, 2008, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) announced that the recently completed fuel-handling facility in Puerto Ayora was awarded official ISO 14001 certification by the Bureau Veritas Certification, a third-party certification body, verifying that the facility is environmentally sound.
“The facility underwent extreme renovations in order to meet certification standards, which are part of a 10-year plan developed by WWF and Toyota, in conjunction with the Ecuadorian Government, to transform high pollution energy systems currently in use in the Galapagos to more sustainable and renewable energy sources. It is one of only a few facilities in Latin America to hold this certification,” the press release stated.
