At the Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant we believe in the
harmony of production and nature and therefore constantly improve our attitude
towards the environment. Active care for the environment and the improvement of
its state represent the basis of all our documents and acts.
By producing electricity we affect the environment but we are constantly endeavouring
to reduce our impact on it. Therefore we are completing the commenced
activities within the framework of annual plans, goals and programmes and
undertaking new projects for the permanent improvement of the situation. We
monitor environmental impacts in accordance with statutory requirements and
also in the broader sense; measurements are carried out by authorised external organisations.
The results of annual measurements are presented in reports submitted to
competent bodies and institutions.
The efficiency of all technologies connected with the
environment is monitored regularly through process controls. Consumption of
natural resources is also monitored. Information is statistically processed and
disclosed in reports which are used for setting goals and preparing programmes
and measures for improving the state of the environment.
