Operational eco-efficiency
The environmental benefits of the CCR Group concessions
for large town and city centers are significant. The São
Paulo and Salvador subway systems and the VLT in Rio de
Janeiro, for example, are powered by electricity and help
reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, insofar as they
promote the replacement of fossil-fuel based vehicles.
To encourage users to use the subway as their main
means of transport, CCR Metrô Bahia launched the "Bora
de Metrô!" (Let's Take the Subway!) campaign in 2017
with advertisement films shown on television and the
dissemination of information relevant to passengers. CCR
Group is also discussing adaptations to the city's bus lines
with the municipal authorities, in order to ensure better
integration with the subway and to produce more benefits
for the local communities.
The new stations of CCR Metrô Bahia were also built
with the environment as a distinguishing feature of their
projects. The architecture prioritized the use of natural
resources, such as natural lighting and ventilation, to
ensure optimum temperatures for users and to reduce the
need for electricity consumption to cool the air.
These new facilities received an honorable mention
in the ninth edition of Prêmio Bienal de Arquitetura
(Biennial Prize for Architecture) of Associação Brasileira
dos Escritórios de Arquitetura (Brazilian Association of
Architecture Firms - ASBEA). The project was also the only
Latin American representatives among the finalists of the
international WAF World Architecture Festival 2017 award
ceremony.
At ViaQuatro, the concern for the environment also
unfolds in user engagement and awareness initiatives.
Last year one of the initiatives was Casa Sustentável
(Sustainable Home), a touring facility that is self-sufficient
in energy. This initiative impressed passengers with
solutions for more environmentally-friendly homes.

Specialized displays showed visitors simple ideas such as cost-
efficient solar heaters and a home-based waste management
system. Another highlight was the 30th anniversary
celebration of the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty
for the protection of the ozone layer. The campaign involved
putting stickers up around the stations, with videos on train
monitors and platforms and an invitation for users to interact
through social media.
In the context of operational improvements, actions focused
on reducing waste generation. ViaQuatro was the first in the
industry to form a partnership to recycle uniforms discarded
by its employees. Since the beginning of the project, in June
2016, the company has collected 6.6 thousand uniforms,
thereby avoiding the use of 16 cubic meters in landfills and
the emission of 32 tCO2e. In an initiative that combined
passenger comfort, operational safety and reduction of
environmental impact, the company installed 2,200 devices
made of 100% recyclable material to reduce the gap
between platforms and trains.
