Our Environment
As one of the major industrial players in the region, we work closely with a range of stakeholders, with Czech Mining Authority, the Ministry of the Environment, local municipalities, mining communities and environmental bodies.
Our environmental monitoring and management covers water and air pollution, waste disposal, hazardous chemical management and reclamation work around our mines. These efforts are realised through NWR’s principal Czech subsidiaries, OKD and OKK.
In 2010, no substantial issues in these areas were identified by the regulating bodies. For further information please see the report of the Company’s Health, Safety and Environment Committee (‘HSEC’) on page 57 of the Corporate Governance report in the Annual Report and Accounts 2010.
