By training, informing and raising the awareness of
our employees, we endeavour to ensure that the actions of each individual
support environmental protection. All
employees have access to current topics (environmental aspects, environmental
objects and programmes, legislation directory), which are published and
regularly harmonised in the intranet network. We also participate in wider
efforts for a clean and healthy environment and cooperate with various
educational institutions. We have been supporting educational environmental
programmes which include elementary school children from the municipalities of
Velenje, Šoštanj and Šmartno ob Paki since 1994 and a project from the ERICo
Institute the Environmental Promotional-educational Centre since 1998. Within
the framework of the programme which has over 10,000 participants including children
from elementary and secondary school and students each year, visitors become
acquainted with the procedure of producing electricity from coal and the
consequences of such production, environmental projects and successful
ecological rehabilitation. Everyone
interested in our operations is welcome to tour the power plant on open door
days.
