Venezuelan Guayana Corporation (CVG) promotes improved environmental conditions in agreement with the Environment Ministry (MinAmb)

VHeadline Venezuela News reports:
The Venezuelan Guayana Corporation (CVG) is promoting improved environmental conditions at the Ciudad Guayana industrial zone after a framework agreement was signed by CVG representatives and the Environment (MinAmb) Ministry. CVG president & CEO, Rodolfo Sanz, says "the initiative seeks to improve the quality of air we breathe," as well as to meet the MinAmb guidelines.

In a report carried in today's edition of the regional newspaper El Diario de Guayana, Sanz explains that the plan to improve environmental conditions at CVG-Carbonorca will be developed over the next eight months and includes optimization of the carbon anode management systems, repairs to bathrooms, locker rooms and workshops in the mill, reconstruction of the maintenance workshops, erection of a perimeter fence and other maintenance.

The agreement covers the creation of corporate environmental management involving all public and private CVG companies in the regional industrial conglomerate to allow for further action in environmental health, fitness and care in the handling of by-products generated by heavy industry.

Sanz highlights work being done to refurbish systems that capture dust in the milling and compacting unit and to reduce levels of pollution generate by both necessary processes in the manufacture of carbon anodes as integral parts of the planned environmental projects being carried out at CVG-Carbonorca.

  1. A step in the right direction -- but it's still not worker council & consejo comunal control. The proper goal is to subsume all industry -- including heavy -- under the democratic control of councils and comunas, etc., at the proper level. Then see things getting done: because the democratic feedback mechanisms and constant oversight will be there.

    Capitalist methods are for the birds (except wherever it kills them with pollution and commercial devastation, that is).
