Environmental impact:
|
The project has been classified as B/1, requiring an environmental audit and analysis. An independent environmental audit was carried out in 1997 as part of the company’s acquisition of the plant and again in June 1998 as part of the Procter & Gamble (P&G) quantitative worldwide environmental audit system. The audits concluded that the P&G Ukraine facilities have a very low environmental impact. The State Administration of Environmental Safety of Ukraine and the Chief Sanitary Physician of Ukraine confirmed that emission levels from the plant are well below maximum allowable levels and that the level of harmful substances in waste-water discharge via the municipal sewer are in full compliance with legal requirements. The facility will implement P&G’s Environmental Management System, which has been independently verified as complying with both the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and the international environmental standard, ISO 14001. The company has prepared an Environmental Action Plan (EAP) to address the outstanding issues identified in the audits, and a significant part of the investment will be used to implement the EAP and to bring the facilities up to EU and P&G world-wide standards. P&G intends to fully implement all the constituents of their world-wide environmental programme over a five-year period.
