In the environment protection aspect, EuRoPol GAZ s.a. does not limit its activities to conducting of actions related only to operation of the system of transit pipelines. A continuous improvement of the personnel’s environmental awareness is extremely important in everyday functioning of our Company.
This activity is reflected in both environmental programmes and policy of EuRoPol GAZ. This goal is being pursued by, among other things, publishing of information and educational materials on environmental protection on our corporate portal.
Moreover, internal dedicated training courses and workshops on the environment-related issues are arranged for. The trainees learn about both the legal requirements and the ways of meeting them.
In the recent years, services of the Operating Division, Engineering Division and hired consultants have been working together to maintain and further improvement the Environment Management System. The outcome of their efforts has confirmed that within the existing programmes EuRoPol GAZ s.a. minimises negative effects on the environment in each of the identified aspects.
The CO2 Emission Allowances Trading System
EuRoPol GAZ s.a. as the owner of the compressor stations has been participating in the Emission Trading System since 2008. Moreover, our compressor stations are covered by the National Implementation Measures for the period of 2021 – 2025 (Phase IV).
All decisions held and implementation of obligations arising from both decisions and legal regulations are subject to continuous monitoring. In this respect a useful tool is the document titled The List of Actions Resulting from Environmental Protection Regulations, Decisions Held and the ZSZ - the Manner and Timelines for Implementation.
EuRoPol GAZ s.a.’s understanding of its relations with a local community is broader than just the business obligations required by the law. The company supports local projects with a great satisfaction, especially in the areas where the Polish part of the Yamal gas pipeline runs through and where the five compressor stations are located. We notice local initiatives that have a positive effect on quality of life of local communities and built a regional social identity. Thank to that we discover outstanding people and great places. We strengthen our ties with local communities because we feel we are one of their members. We are a responsible neighbour who contributes to growth of the community in which he functions every day.
