Yesterday, TEPSA Bilbao was presented the Bronze EMAS award by Íñigo Urkullu, the President of the
Basque Government, in a ceremony commemorating the 20th anniversary of the creation of the EMAS register.

The EMAS certification (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) recognises organisations that have set up
internal environmental management systems for continuous improvement. These systems are then
monitored and checked by external, independent environmental auditors.

The Bronze award is given to companies that have been on the register for more tan 5 years. TEPSA
Bilbao is now celebrating its eighth year on the register of companies that meet the EMAS certification
requirements.

The ceremony took place in the Office of the Basque President, in the presence of Mr. Urkullu and
Mss. Ana Oregui (the Basque Government’s Advisor on Environmental Affairs and Territorial Policy).
