Concern for the condition of the surrounding environment makes the protection of all elements of nature an integral part of the company’s business activity, as well as the development and investment processes of ORLEN Południe S.A.

We undertake to meet the legal and other requirements applicable at ORLEN Południe S.A. concerning our environmental aspects, as well as to systematically prevent and reduce negative environmental impacts, taking into account sustainability criteria. The implemented Environmental Management System in line with ISO 14001 is a tool used to monitor the implementation of the intentions and directions of the Company’s environmental activities declared in the “Quality, Environmental and OHS Policy”.

The activities aim to raise awareness of the workers, their family members and the local community with regard to respect for the environment through various campaigns. For years now, we have organised a Christmas Eve campaign together with the Trzebinia Town and Municipality Office where you get a tree for free if you donate waste paper, which is highly popular with residents of the municipality.

In 2016, the company signed a voluntary declaration to join the Responsible Care Programme. The programme involves numerous actions, including the campaign where you can receive a tree for donating bottles. The campaign combines the benefits of environmental education, social activity, care for the environment and one’s own municipality and is dedicated to pre-school and school institutions in the Jedlicze municipality. The plastic PET bottles collected during the campaign are recycled. The symbol of the recycling of the collected bottles are the trees given to each institution participating in the campaign at the final ceremony.
