Environmental Policy

PKN ORLEN has announced systematic adjustment of process planning and implementation methods to the requirements of permanent and sustainable development through an integrated approach to contamination prevention and environmental protection processes. The Company’s strategy is subordinated to this objective, which is translated into existing and future development programmes and other activities carried out on the basis of the implemented Environmental Management System according to the requirements of the PN–EN ISO 14001: 2005 standard. We undertake to extend the system to other units of the Company domestically and to build an integrated Management System.

Continuous improvements in the Environmental Management System and its integration with Quality Management Systems support the establishment of a single effective Management System. It is supposed to guarantee a gradual reduction of negative environmental impact in all areas of the Company’s business. Our goal is to achieve the maximum possible ecological neutrality of the production plant in Płock and other organisational units of the Company domestically on their direct environment. We also want to minimise environmental impact caused by the use of our products.

PKN ORLEN Environmental Policy is subject to revision, in order to update and adjust it to the goals set in the “National Environmental Policy adopted for the period 2009–2012 with a perspective until 2016”. 

We have declared that our efforts will focus on the following environmental targets:

  • to ensure integrated prevention and monitoring of pollutant emission to the atmosphere, water and soil, and of waste generation so as to ensure a high level of environmental protection as a whole, while at the same time complying with the principles of sustainable development;
  • to achieve the status of full compliance with current legislation, environmental standards and other requirements;
  • to apply the best available technologies (BAT) in new and modernised facilities;
  • to take preventive measures with respect to major industrial failures;
  • to ensure acoustic protection for the land and buildings around the Production Plant in Płock to which such protection applies;
  • to optimise environmental parameters of fuel through the application of low-sulphur components and biofuel;
  • to minimise the risk of the spread of pollutants in soil and water, and their impact on human life and health;
  • to provide all interested parties with access to information relating to the Company’s impact on the environment;
  • to increase environmental awareness among the personnel;
  • to continue the Responsible Care programme.
