We received the two awards for integrated, efficient and sustainable management of energy and natural resources, which reduced specific energy consumption and cut greenhouse gas emissions. We save more than 50 GWh of electricity and natural gas per year. We switched to zero-carbon electric power, reducing CO2 emissions by 45,000 tonnes. This is the same as if we had planted 170,000 trees. We generate more than 50% of the required thermal power by waste heat recovery.

We intend to pursue excellence in energy and natural resource management system through improvements and new investment at the Krka Group level also in the future.
