Responsibility

We are committed to observing the principles of sustainable development as well as taking health, the environment and safety into consideration in every aspect of our operations.
Our operations are developed in accordance with our environmental and quality management system, and we update areas needing improvement every year.
We have emphasised sustainable development and responsibility in our operations by taking the following measures, among others:
– The company has a certified ISO 14001 environmental management system.
Since 2001, the production facility has used only wind power to generate its electricity.
Thanks to the use of wind power, since 2001 we have saved over 24,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions compared to coal condense power.
