Environmental Protection

The Company pays priority attention to environmental protection and mitigation of an inevitable impact of operations. To this end, at a planning stage, systematic environmental protection efforts are envisaged both to meet requirements of customers and upon an initiative of the Company.

Such activities might include a continuous environmental monitoring activity in a water area of operations with regular sampling, measurements, analyses of collected data and reporting, which is public and accessible to all of the stakeholders and environmental protection and supervisory bodies.

The Company's involvement in development and piloting of the latest equipment designed to suppress noise and explosion energy is also driven by its commitment to protection of flora, fauna and biosystems.
