Environment, Health & Safety

Although created in 2008 as a working group on waste management, it was immediately clear that the working group should become a permanent subcommittee on environment, health and safety issues within the Manufacturing Committee. By the end of the year, the sub-committee had developed into a fully fledged committee that attracted member companies’ leading experts and top-level officials. It holds meetings on the hottest current topics, advocating a number of important EHS-related legislative challenges, e.g. on labor protection (with the Ministry of Healthcare and Social Development) and waste disposal (with Rospotrebnadzor). The Committee has established a good working relationship with the relevant authorities, including the Office of the President’s Plenipotentiary, the Subregional Office for Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the International Labor Organization (ILO), Rosprirodnadzor and the Committees for Labor and Employment both in St Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast.
