The total expenditures budgeted and
carried out in 2012 in connection with
the implementation of the Group’s en-
vironmental policy stood at €10.7 mil-
lion. This amount is reduced by around
17% from the corresponding amount
in 2011, due primarily to cuttings in
prevention and environmental man-
agement expenditures, a move made
necessary by the increased level of ex-
penditures during 2011 for the imple-
mentation of new environmental pre-
vention projects in aluminium produc-
tion, such as: the configuration of dis-
posal areas for bauxite residues, the re-
habilitation of landfills for Hazardous
and for Non-Hazardous waste, the in-
stallation of the 3rd and 4th Filter Press-
es for the treatment of bauxite residues,
and the conversion of fuel oil boilers in
the local settlement.
In detail, the total amount for 2012 in-
cludes €7.1 million of investments,
which correspond to 66.7% of the to-
tal expenditures and concern waste
treatment and discharge, the treatment
of gas emissions (e.g. expenditures
for filters, active equipment), and ex-
penditures for the installation of clean-
er, more environmental-friendly tech-
nology. The remaining €3.6 million or
32.3% of total expenditures were al-
located to environmental manage-
ment actions such as: Development and
application of quality control systems
under the ISO 14001 International
Standard, independent certification of
Environmental Management Systems,
various chemical analyses carried out,
Research & Development, protection of
green areas, offices and facilities etc.
