ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

We at Petrokemija d.d. started implementing environmental management system in the early seventies and have been improving and upgrading it ever since. The company staff commitment resulted in successful implementation of the Environmental Management System in line with the ISO 14001 international standard. The System was originally certified by Lloyd's Register in 2004 and re-certificated in 2006. The activities involved in the environment protection are done according to a documented system, from the Board down to every single employee working for or on behalf of Petrokemija and with the help of supporting technical services.

The care for environment has been integrated into the business policy of Petrokemija. Continuous improvement of the Environment Management System is carried out in line with the adopted programs in order to prevent and reduce the pollution of the environment and meet the legal requirements.

With the aim of reducing unfavorable impact on environment, we take care of our product in their whole life cycle including the choice of good quality raw materials, improvement of production processes, storaging, packing and distribution as well as giving technical assistance in after-sales services for proper use of our products. We monitor all our production processes and estimate their impact and rising trends as compared to the highly set standards. We monitor the air quality by measuring concentration of seven pollutants at six measuring stations in Town Kutina. A special attention is given to the quality of waste waters and production waste which is selectively collected, parts used if possible and / or disposed of in a prescribed manner. In order to be as efficient as possible in the environment protection system, we have established cooperation with technical and research institutes. As a result of environmental protection measures in Petrokemija, there is a continuous rising trend of waste water and air quality in the residential area. Regular reports on Petrokemija operations' impact on environment are prepared for state authorities and the public. By continuous upgrading of environmental protection we are trying to meet the requirements of international standards for environmental management.
