- Reducing the volume of resources used for each unit of production and placing a stronger emphasis on rational use of natural resources;
- Utilizing secondary resources;
- Gradually phasing out environmentally dangerous materials and processes from production;
- Increasing the efficiency of production management, technology and operating activities;
- Involving all employees in their units' environmental initiatives;
Environmental Management System
Polymetal has a successful Environmental and Industrial Sanitation Management System in place that the Company updates as needed. It defines the design and practical implementation of environmental protection strategies that are used to assign responsibility for a range of services concerning environmental policy. These services include an employee environmental education program, operational communications between various levels of the environmental management system and a system for handling documents that either regulates or registers all aspects of the Company's environmental protection. It also establishes procedures for defining and controlling operations that impact the environment.
The current system was launched at Polymetal and its subsidiaries in 2006 and corresponds with all World Bank requirements and ISO 14001 international standards. |
