07 Environment impact

Environmental impact management

We are fully aware how energy production and distribution affects the state of the environment, including the climate, and consequently the life quality of all the people. Therefore, in a well-thought-out manner, we implement further solutions allowing for monitoring and minimizing our impact on the environment. This is also our response to increasingly greater demands imposed with regard to the above on the power industry by regulatory authorities, financial institutions, public opinion and, above all, our customers.

In the ENEA Group, environmental impact management is regulated by the Policy of the Integrated Quality, Environmental and OHS Management System. The individual companies have their own policies, procedures, instructions and regulations, which are suitable to their unique character, obligating them to protect the environment and use it in a sustainable way as well as to monitor and record specific environmental impacts and achieved effects of environmental protection measures. Some of the principles, e.g. ones setting out the requirements for handling the waste produced, must also be observed by external entities performing work on the sites of and for our companies.

We have not developed a separate document describing the climate policy applicable to all companies or a policy of adaptation to climate changes. Nonetheless, internal consultations have been launched to develop such documents and the optimum model for coordinating their implementation.

Internal regulations, primarily and the ENEA Group Code of Ethics and the ENEA Group Compliance Policy, obligate us, among others, to the following:

  • care for the natural environment and take all actions necessary to protect it, regardless of the place and type of performed work,
  • use natural resources and energy reasonably,
  • minimize emission of pollutants,
  • use environmentally friendly technologies,
  • prevent failures posing a threat to the environment,
  • to participate actively in ecological educational campaigns.
