Environmental expenditures
The priorities for allocating the environmental expenditures budget are determined by the Company’s top Management, taking into account the key references
for the evaluation of its environmental performance and impact. These include the requirements resulting from all the legal provisions which govern the activities
of the Company’s plant and the requirements of the licensing decisions and opinions issued by the competent public authorities.
The Company’s total environmental expenditure for 2011 stood at €12,586.115, up 45.8% from 2010. This increase was mainly due to the increase of
the expenditures for the treatment of gas emissions and for cleaning, including spillage rehabilitation costs. It was also due to the increased expenses for the
installation of the plant’s 3rd and 4th Filter Press, the landscaping of a land for the disposal of bauxite residues, and the rehabilitation of Hazardous and Non-
Hazardous Waste Landfills and a limestone quarry.
