In all activities of our organization, environmental dimensions and environmental effects related to these dimensions are determined in the areas. All employees, subcontractors, customers, visitors are briefly determined in the Environmental Dimension and Impact Assessment Table to evaluate the environmental dimensions and effects to include all relevant parties and legalrequirements.
When making these evaluations, the following understanding is acted on.
Understanding: Determining environmental impacts
Reducing: Planning and carrying out activities to mitigate the effects
Telling: Employee and visitors and other interested parties (Certification)
Phase C: Size and impact assessments and related applications are observed, monitored and improvement-oriented solutions are sought at management review meetings at least once a year. However, in case of changes (activities, products or services, environmental laws and regulations, specified environmental dimensions and effects), environmental dimension and impact assessments are taken into the program without waiting for the Management Review meeting and updated in the Environmental Dimension and Impact Assessment Table. Each unit manager informs the Integrated Management Officer by e-mail, face-to-face, internal correspondence form for changes in environmental dimensions and effects arising from their own activity.
In cases such as new projects commissioned, address changes, new machine usage, the Environmental Dimension and Impact Assessment Table is reviewed.
The Environmental Board reviews the Environmental Dimension and Impact Assessment Plan regarding the activities of the subcontractor and our stakeholders who are in contact with our organization and all activities in practice.
If the remedial activities determined in the Environmental Dimension and Impact Assessment Table do not take place, either Corrective Action is initiated according to the evaluated topic or the risks and dangers that may occur in the Risk Hazard Analysis Form are determined and monitored. This topic is evaluated and reviewed in monthly in-house meetings.
When determining environmental dimensions,the downs are evaluated:
- Air emissions,
- Those who are released into the water,
- Those who are released ashore,
- Use of raw materials and natural resources,
