Withdrawal and consumption of water
Consumption of paper attributable to contracts, settlements, orders and invoices
Consumption of fuels by the corporate car fleet
Generation of municipal and business-related waste
Indirect environmental aspects, which cannot be fully controlled by Pelion:
Relations with third parties, which the Company can influence only to a limited extent
Legal regulations and administrative decisions
Establishing relations with various providers of maintenance, waste collection, transport, cleaning and other services.
These relations entail indirect environmental impacts of various intensity.
Actions in key areas involving environmental risks:
- waste management
- collection and recycling of drugs, waste cardboard, plastic film and aluminium
- collection of waste paper, toners, batteries and bottle caps
- fuel combustion = ecodriving, fleet replacement
Monitoring of water, wastewater and energy consumption
