According to public denounce, Celtejo assumes that
fails to meet one of the fundamental parameters of the attributed environmental
license: the parameter related to oxygen, essential for life. The complaint
alleges the practice of environmental crime in the Tejo River, through illegal
industrial waste discharges.
Celtejo – Empresa de Celulose do Tejo S.A. is a company that
belongs to the universe of the Altri
Group, which produces bleached eucalyptus pulp of BEKP type (Bleached
Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp)
Celtejo has chain of responsibility certification, issued by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), by the certifying entity APCER.
The forestry chain of responsibility certification requires full compliance
with the laws, necessarily including compliance with the conditions of the
license awarded by the Portuguese authorities.
This company has also a certification
under ISO
14001: 2015.
The complaint was issued by public
television channel in Portugal, RTP, on "Sexta às 9", and it’s also
available on the broadcaster website
Acréscimo believes that certifications attributed to Celtejo should not be considered valid, given the denunciation of major non-conformity, requiring international audits and re-evaluation, either by the FSC, PEFC and ISO.
