We use water resources responsibly

We regard water as a key strategic and vitally important natural resource. As such it is handled with the care it deserves. We carefully plan, monitor and control water consumption. All water systems are managed in line with Good Manufacturing Practice and the HACCP system.

The pharmaceutical industry uses less water compared to certain other industries, though very strict water quality standards still apply. We devote a lot of effort to preserving the quality of water bodies in all production-based locations. All water systems at Krka are managed in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice and the HACCP system.

WE ENCOURAGE OUR EMPLOYEES TO DRINK TAP WATER WHEREVER WORK CONDITIONS MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

Tap water is considered potable from a health care standpoint and a much better alternative to bottled water, which increases the amount of waste.

Water consumption 2024

The water we use comes from various sources – the public water supply system, river water, groundwater from our own wells, and seawater at Terme Krka.
