Corporate social responsibility and environment

We are the largest Estonian water company and our activity has an impact on nearly one third of the Estonia's population. We have the responsibility of providing the customers with a high-quality drinking water and collecting and treating the wastewater and storm water in environment-friendly way. We understand that by providing a fully compliant service, we impact the life quality of not only the inhabitants of Tallinn and its surrounding municipalities, but all the people living around the Baltic Sea. We deem it important to consistently and systematically apply this understanding in management decisions and daily activities of the Company. It means that our management style, among other things, considers the impact of our business on the surrounding natural habitat and engagement with the interests of different stakeholders.

We have implemented environmental management system to improve the environmental performance and control, reduce and, above all, prevent the environmental impact of our business. Our environment management system complies with the international environment management standard ISO 14001 and the requirements of the eco-management and audit scheme EMAS, established by the European Union.

To even better integrate the economic, environmental and social dimension in our management and principles of operation, we also apply the principles of corporate social responsibility in our business. For us, it means first of all that we do more than we are required in the fields of quality, community support, environmental education and work environment. As a founding member of the Responsible Business Forum in Estonia, we wish to develop a sustainable business both in our own Company, as well as wider in the society.

We are regularly mapping the most important environmental impacts and aspects that provide as a basis to our future activities and goal setting, in order to ensure consistency in implementing a sustainable business. We deem important to be transparent on how our business relates to the sustainability- and environment-related activities. Therefore, we have formulated and published the principles of environmental policy and the corporate social responsibility that are available on our website: www.tallinnavesi.ee - > Vastutustundlikkus -> Keskkond.
