"Environment-friendly Company" for ORLEN
The organizer of the third edition of the contest is the European Forum for Environmental Responsibility which, under the auspices of the Ministry of the Environment, awards Polish companies for pro-ecological management constituting the priority of growth.
The “Environment-friendly Company” certificate is another award granted to PKN ORLEN in the category of actions for the environment. The company was also awarded for high quality of its products and received, inter alia, the following certificates: the Environmental Management System, the Responsible Care Program and the “Environment-friendly Company”.
- The certificate is an important and objective award granted by the experts in this field. I am delighted that there are ecological institutions and organizations which monitor the activities of companies in this respect, and notice the efforts of the most involved. Our actions for the environment are long-term and the environmental policy constitutes an integral element of the strategy and the management of the company. Recently, in the Płock Production Plant we have launched another valuable investment program, which within seven years will bring tangible benefits to the immediate environment and will enable to minimize the impact of our technological infrastructure on the environment - Marek Serafin, Member of the Management Board of PKN ORLEN for Petrochemical Operations, said.
According to the organizers, the idea behind the contest is to initiate a vast movement of strategic pro-ecological actions on the companies’ level in Poland. The essential assumptions of the program are based on the issue of strategic management of an organization mainly from a pro-ecological standpoint. The ecology and its effective management frequently constitutes the so-called Key Success Factor for companies. The “Environment-friendly Company” program is to help entrepreneurs in the process of pro-ecological management and indicate opportunities for benefiting from these efforts. The organizers of the program plan to build a center of practical and theoretical ecological knowledge, useful to entrepreneurs both in day-to-day management of the company and in creating their positive eco-image based on the consistently implemented pro-ecological strategy of growth.
