Electropoli is committed to the environment by conviction.
Environmental protection is a crucial aspect of our organizational culture, with the care for the environment standing as a primary objective for Electropoli. We are committed to consistently preserving biodiversity, natural resources, and maintaining high environmental quality to foster sustainable development and well-being for both present and future generations.
Over the years, Electropoli has proactively taken measures to systematically minimize our organization's impact on the environment. This commitment is demonstrated through the adoption of modern monitoring methods and the integration of new environmentally friendly technologies and materials. Importantly, our aspirations and development plans are designed to align harmoniously with the natural ecosystem's delicate balance.
Our dedication is evident in our efforts to raise awareness about the imperative need to reduce the consumption of raw materials and natural resources, encompassing water, energy, fuel, and paper. This awareness is instrumental in enabling us to address these issues effectively and responsibly, ensuring a sustainable approach to our operations.
Energy efficiency
Our commitment to energy efficiency is the cornerstone of our sustainable development initiatives. We are dedicated to reducing electricity and gas consumption through rational, efficient, and optimized management of our technological processes. By doing so, we enhance overall operational efficiency while minimizing our environmental impact. Notably, our Bielsko-Biała and Nowa Sól plants—historically the most emission-intensive—have transitioned to 100% green energy sourced from renewables, reducing their carbon footprints by 98% and 92%, respectively. Furthermore, we are investing in photovoltaic installations and heat pumps to further decrease our reliance on conventional energy sources. On going energy-saving projects focus on optimizing and automating energy consumption across our facilities, driving continuous improvements in efficiency.
Climate protection
Aligned with global climate objectives, Electropoli is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, with the ultimate goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2046. Our efforts include implementing low-emission strategies that complement our energy efficiency projects. In 2025, we will also acquire guarantees of origin for our CD facility, marking another significant step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These initiatives empower us to actively mitigate our impact on climate change while contributing to environmental protection both locally and globally.
Zero pollution ambition
To contribute to a cleaner environment, Electropoli is committed to the sustainable use of chemicals and the development of new technologies and innovative surface treatment solutions. These efforts are geared towards minimizing our environmental impact. Additionally, we are actively engaged in the prevention and reduction of water, air, and soil pollution, reflecting our dedication to a zero-pollution future.
Circular economy
Embracing the principles of a circular economy, Electropoli is optimizing waste management practices. This includes adhering to the waste hierarchy, promoting recycling, encouraging reuse, and investing in waste heat recovery solutions. Furthermore, we are spearheading initiatives to save water through innovative business models, emission reduction strategies, and climate-neutral production processes. These actions underscore our commitment to responsible resource management and sustainable production practices.
By focusing on energy efficiency, climate protection, zero pollution ambition, and embracing the principles of a circular economy, we are actively working towards a greener future. Our efforts reflect our responsibility as an industry leader to contribute positively to the environment and inspire similar commitments across the business landscape. Together, we can create a more sustainable and resilient world.
