The basis of the Swiss Krono Group philosophy is the belief that only the products which are eco- friendly and safe to the environment are truly useful for man. Since care for the environment is one of the most important elements of the company policy, the production investments are accompanied by the investments in its protection. Since the beginning of its operation Kronopol has been using in practice the rule of balanced development, using for the production materials coming exclusively from the sources managed in accordance with the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) as well as different sorts of wood waste.

The economic objectives of the company are consistent with the requirements of the environment protection, pursuant to the assumptions of the Rio de Janeiro Declaration 1992. In June 1995 an eco- friendly boiler house utilizing wood waste produced during the manufacturing process was built. It replaced coal-fired furnaces, thus significantly improving air quality in the vicinity of the plant. In 2001 water environment was taken care of due to the fact that the region biggest rain sewage treatment plant was built. In 2007 the biggest pro-ecology investment was initiated. Meeting the needs of the local community, the company board took a decision to build an electrofilter for practically complete cleaning of steam and dust coming from the drying room.

The company continually invests in the environment protection, which is provided by the Environment Management System implemented in 2004 - ISO 14001, as well as industrial safety - Specifi- cation OHSAS 18001.
