Implementation of Certified Management System for the Recording & Reporting of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Recognizing the threat of Climate Change and demonstrating its awareness of the need to address the Greenhouse Effect, METKA has designed and implemented a system for the recording and reporting of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, in accordance with the International Standard ISO 14064. The implementation of this system aims to record and quantify the GHG emissions released as a result of the Company’s activities in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (CO2e). The Company employs appropriate metrics to evaluate its Carbon Footprint and is committed to managing its greenhouse gas emissions by taking suitable measures and applying state-of-the-art practices, where feasible. Using 2013 as the reference year, METKA in annual basis issues a GHG Emissions Report which is verified by an Independent Accredited Verification Organisation.
