Cemex’s Chelm plant receives multiple environmental awards

World Cement,


Cemex in Poland has announced that its Chelm cement plant has been registered in the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), joining an elite group of 28 organisations in Poland that have met the EMAS requirements. Moreover, the Chelm plant received two awards at the second International EcoForum Conference, held in Lublin, Poland: ‘Environment First’, carrying the title as an environmentally friendly company; and the ‘Man and Company’ statuette, granted for introducing innovative technology to minimise the plant’s impact on the environment.

EMAS
Implementation of EMAS is another step in the process of improving the environmental management system at the Chelm plant. Since 2002, the system has been in compliance with the environmental standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In 2008, it was incorporated into the Integrated System of Quality, Environment, Safety, and Hygiene Management. Registration in EMAS recognises the company’s comprehensive approach to environmental issues, as well as the continued efficiency and transparency of its operations.

EcoForum
The International EcoForum Conference is a meeting place for experts, scientists and representatives of entrepreneurs for whom environmental protection issues are an important element of their activity. Through the ‘Environment First’ and the ‘Man and Company’ awards, the experts showed their appreciation for Cemex’s ecological investments aimed at increasing energy efficiency, reducing CO2 and dust emissions, limiting noise, and optimising the use of raw materials and water.
