Protecting the Environment | Our Responsibility
Regiongruzservice is fully committed to running its business in a way that respects and minimises the impact on the environment.Regiongruzservice places a great deal of importance on the responsible use of energy and environmental awareness. It handles products which have the potential to be hazardous to people and the environment. Energy consumption is limited wherever possible by implementing effective measures and using smart systems. Every effort is made to reduce waste output. Workers are trained to reduce wastewater, energy consumption and the use of chemicals. Regiongruzservice conducts its environmental policy through proper governance and fully complies with the environmental legislation.
We recognise the significance of climate change, along with the role energy plays in helping people achieve and maintain a good quality of life. A key role for society – and for Regiongruzservice – is to find ways to provide much more energy with less carbon dioxide.
Our Approach
Our world needs energy to support and improve life for a growing population. We aim to limit any impact on the environment and support the transition towards a lower-carbon future.We believe that injuries, incidents, and occupational illnesses are preventable and that incident and near miss reporting and investigation are of fundamental importance in their prevention.
What responsible means for us
For Regiongruzservice, responsible means respecting national laws and international standards, matching or exceeding global best practice and setting our own rigorous performance standards. Our core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people underpin our decisions and actions.
Being responsible means understanding the impact Regiongruzservice can have on the environment and the communities we share it with – before, during and at the end of our operations. We always try to make a positive contribution to the local environments in which we operate and seek to reduce any potential negative impacts.
- managing emissions of greenhouse gases;
- using less energy more efficiently;
- preventing spills and leaks of hazardous materials;
- using less fresh water; and
- conserving biodiversity wherever we operate.
Oil or product spills damage the environment and endanger our employees and neighbouring communities. To avoid spills and leaks of hazardous substances, we work hard to make sure our facilities are well designed, safely operated and appropriately inspected and maintained. We invest in the equipment and human expertise we need to deal with any spills that happen.
Shipping is an integral part of our operations, so we have to prepare for spills at sea as well as on land. To help prevent spills into water, our ship quality assurance standard requires all of the tankers and barges we hire to have double hulls.
