Managing Environmental Impacts

Working to consistent fundamental requirements and guidelines is a prerequisite for achieving credibility, both internally and externally. The management of environmental aspects is integrated into the HSE Management System, in accordance with the commitments defined in the HSE Policy. Moreover, the number of sites certified according to the international environmental standard ISO 14001 is growing on a yearly basis.
