Environmental Policy Øresundsbron shows responsibility towards the environment and contributes to sustainable development. Environmental considerations are integrated into the company with a focus on preventative efforts. We aim to achieve this accordingly: Our Workplace We minimize ongoing environmental impact from daily operations and administration of the link. Layout We respect the environment when technical systems are installed and maintained. The Surrounding Environment We follow environmental legislation, protect our natural resources and pay attention to the environment in our surroundings. Traffic We contribute to reducing the environmental impact of traffic on the link. Communication We are open and informative about our environmental considerations. Examples The Øresund Bridge must always have a functioning rail service with sufficient capacity so that freight and passenger traffic on the railroad is promoted over highway traffic (the environmental impact of one freight train is as great as 60 trucks). Øresundsbron protects the development of the unique nature of the artificial island Peberholm, which has become a very important habitat for endangered species. One example is the black-headed gull, which has decreased dramatically in both Denmark and Sweden. The species has established a vital colony, consisting of several hundred pairs some years. Since 2004 we have observed the rare green toad. The population of up to 2,500 adult individuals is one of the largest in Denmark and unique for Swedish conditions. Lights from the motorway are shielded so as not to disturb the eels traveling through the sound and lighting on the pylons is turned off during dense fog to avoid birds colliding with the bridge. Environmental Management Environmental work is an integral part of the Øresund Bridge Consortium's management system. We work systematically on the basis of the ISO 14001 standard, which is an internationally recognized standard for environmental management. Environmental management ensures systematic environmental work, the integration of environmental considerations in the operation and maintenance, and attention to environmental responsibility throughout the organization and with our partners. We record our environmental impact and are aware of the state of the environment around us. We are continually working on new environmental improvements. This ensures that we are constantly improving our environmental performance.
