Environment
Turquoise is our color for eco-management. The foundations for effective eco-management measures were laid in 1994/1995. The ecological balance system was worked out by our
Eco Team, Engineers’ Group
and Control Group.
The results of the ecological assessments as well as a number of key figures are printed in every environmental statement, reflecting the great respect we have for the environment. A summary of the progress of our environmental programme is printed below.
