Environmental protection

Environmental protection has been part of Krka's development since the very beginning. This has been proved by numerous projects continually improving the state in all areas relating to protecting the environment.

Krka's basic document on environment protection is its Environment Policy Quality Manual. The provisions of this manual relating to environmental protection are based on legal requirements and the ISO 14001 standards. The envoronmental management system means envoronmental protection is included in all the company's activities, and it is the responsibility of the Environment Protection Service with the Engineering and Tehnical Services.

The Environment Protection Service’s work relates to employees, the natural environment, and the local and wider community. We continually work to reduce the load our activities place on the environment. A vital part of this support is the environmental management system, which is in compliance with the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard. The principal objective of environmental policy, which was adopted at the same time as the standard was implemented in 2001, is continual improvement of the environment. Thanks to many years of specialised work and large-scale investment we are successfully implementing this policy. Our annual plans, objectives and programmes always include improvements to existing actions and the launch of new projects aimed at sustainable improvement. The impact of Krka’s activities on the environment is measured by means of emission monitoring in line with legal norms and internal regulations. The measurements are carried out by an authorised external organisation. The results of annual measurements are published in reports submitted to the relevant administrative institutions.

Regular process controls implemented in our laboratories monitor the effectiveness of all tehnologies with a potential enviromental impact. We also monitor date on the utilisation of natural resources. All data is statistically analysed and published in internal reports that are used in defining objectives and preparing programmes and measures to improve the environment.
