Impact assessment

At the Petrol Group, we comprehensively manage environmental impacts, risks, and opportunities arising from our activities. Our approach is based on a double materiality assessment, which includes both financial and non-financial aspects of impacts on the environment and society. We use verified methodologies and indicators aligned with international ESRS standards, regularly updating them in line with legislation and stakeholder expectations.

We monitor and report on environmental indicators, which include:

• Emissions to air, water, and soil,
• Waste management,
• Water and energy consumption,
• Noise and other environmental impacts.

Our environmental goals are partially legally mandated but mostly voluntary, based on scientific insights into the sustainable use of natural resources. All goals are included in the environmental objectives register, which is approved annually within the management system in accordance with the ISO 14001 standard.

At locations where we store large quantities of hazardous substances, we operate in compliance with the SEVESO Directive. For all SEVESO facilities, we have prepared:

• Safety reports or Environmental Risk Reduction Plans,
• Protection and rescue plans,
• Public information, which is available on our website and at the facility locations.

Employees are regularly trained to respond to emergency situations, and we conduct drills while collaborating with local communities. This ensures a high level of preparedness for emergencies and minimizes their impact on soil and water, employees, and the health and property of nearby residents.

Impact assessments are conducted with experts from various fields at least every three years or in the event of significant legislative changes. We also involve suppliers and contractors, sharing responsibility for reducing impacts across the entire value chain.
