Environmental policy

Our vision:

At all stages of production and product distribution, LLC “Maslenytsa” seeks to take care of nature without damaging the environment. We have committed to continuously improve our environmental management system.

In order to achieve this aim, LLC “Maslenytsa” considers it to be its duty to follow the principles listed below:

1. Comply with environmental laws and requirements applicable to our processes for the production of vegetable oils, animal feeds, other products, services and projects.
2. Promote continuous environmental improvement by applying environmental management principles, by complying with environmental standards at our facilities and requirements for our products, services and projects.
3. Seek environmentally sustainable development through pollution prevention, waste minimization, reuse and recycling in our processes, products, services and projects.
4. Demonstrate social responsibility by seeking to meet the environmental needs of the population in the production affected area and by promoting the responsible use of natural resources.
5. Engage employees in environmental sustainability efforts and provide employee training to enhance environmental management practices at work and at home.

    

Since 2012, the company's environmental management system has been certified for compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 14001, and annually through recertification confirms the effectiveness of the system and environmental activities, control of environmental risks and rapid response to changes in environmental factors.

Certificate of Compliance with the requirements of ISO 14001:2015  was once again issued on December 27, 2022 by BUREAU VERITAS, one of the world's largest certification leaders.

In addition, the company has annually confirmed the environmental sustainability of its supply chain since September 2020 when the company passed the first audit for compliance with the ISCC standard and was certified by the SGS certification body. This certification confirms that the facility meets sustainable development criteria as a participant in the chain of production and supply of sustainable products or raw materials for making products and/or biofuels.

Biofuels produced from industrial residues and waste are an alternative to traditional energy resources, and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere affecting climate change on a planetary scale.

However, when producing alternative fuels from agricultural raw materials, a delicate balance is required between the needs of industry and the needs of communities for affordable food and for the preservation of forests and natural areas sensitive to anthropogenic impact.
The ISCC certification confirms that the plant observes this balance and takes into account all necessary aspects of the relationship between the environment, communities and manufacturing business.

Currently, enterprises on the territory of the Russian Federation are not subject to this certification, but our company continues to profess the principles of environmentally sustainable supply of raw materials / products and sustainability.
