Environmental risk management
What environmental risks we identify and how do we prevent them:
Risk: Hazards to the aquatic environment
What we do: Ongoing monitoring of operations in this respect, oversight and reviews and, if needed, modernization of individual installations. We also provide relevant training to employees in this area on an ongoing basis.
Risk: Improper handling of chemical substances
What we do: Continuous access and the crew is regularly familiarized with the rules of safe use of chemicals and ongoing monitoring of the regulations in this respect.
Risk: Failure to adapt the organization to new environmental regulations
