Our Ecological Commitments and Actions
With over 150 employees, we continuously implement initiatives to minimize our environmental impact. Reducing energy consumption, limiting emissions, and minimizing waste are our top priorities. Here are some of our key pro-ecological activities:
Reducing Energy Consumption and Emissions
In January 2023, we installed a 50 kWp photovoltaic system at our Turka complex, generating 47,550 kWh of energy, covering 59% of our energy needs. Additionally, our Gdańsk warehouse features a 30 kWp PV installation that produced 27,239 kWh of energy, supporting our goal to decrease energy consumption from the grid by 30% by 2025.
Bottleless Water Dispensers and Paper Reduction
We have implemented bottleless water dispensers, eliminating the need for plastic bottles and significantly reducing plastic waste. This change eliminates the need for plastic bottles, significantly reducing plastic waste. Furthermore, we have implemented a paper reduction policy by using an electronic system for signing contracts and external documents. These solutions have led to a substantial decrease in paper usage, promoting more eco-friendly and efficient office practices.
Waste Segregation and Recycling
We prioritize responsible waste management by regularly collecting used batteries and segregating waste to facilitate recycling, thus minimizing our negative impact on the environment. Our actions in this area reflect our daily commitment to sustainable development.
Certificates of Conformity and Carbon Footprint
Our certifications (ISO 14001, REACH, ISO 9001, GMP+, HACCP, and AEO) demonstrate our commitment to environmental management and process quality. We regularly assess our carbon footprint, enabling us to make informed decisions about investments in renewable energy sources and technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Corporate Social Responsibility
At Centro-Chem, we emphasize our responsibility to the environment and the community. We actively participate in nature conservation initiatives, such as cleaning the Bystrzyca River valley near our Turka headquarters, which is part of the Natura 2000 network.
Striving for Sustainable Development
All our new investments, including the construction of our 500 m² warehouse, incorporate renewable energy and zero-emission technologies.We ensure that all our facilities utilize energy from renewable sources, and transitioning our forklift fleet to electric is a significant step toward further emission reductions.
