#Environmental protection
Environmental protection and minimizing ecosystem impact. Practical environmental management at facilities: from emission monitoring to land reclamation. Innovative solutions for closed-cycle water use and emission reduction.
Sustainable Development of Mosgortrans Combined with Improved Environmental Performance
Integration of sustainable development principles into a transport enterprise by replacing the diesel fleet with electric buses, introducing electronic waybills, and visualizing the waste management system. The practice includes color coding of containers for separate waste collection and greenhouse gas emissions control.
The Environmental Impact of Electric Vehicles
The article analyzes the impact of electric vehicles on the environment, including the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, noise level reduction, and the problem of battery disposal. The author shows that charging from renewable energy sources allows reducing greenhouse emissions by more than 60% compared to gasoline cars. Additionally, using the example of the BYD Qin Plus and LADA Vesta SW Cross models, the material provides a calculation of the payback of an electric vehicle.
Rosgeologia Holding's "Green Rating" Environmental Ranking
Rosgeo Holding conducts the "Green Rating" evaluation of its subsidiaries and divisions, aimed at determining the effectiveness of their performance in the field of environmental safety and encouraging environmental protection development. The assessment is carried out using a point system based on a set of criteria, including the implementation of resource-saving technologies, documentation management, staff education, and inspection results. The article discloses the goals of compiling the rat...
Ensuring Environmental Safety Through Training
A cascade environmental training system for personnel at a manufacturing enterprise. It includes assessing baseline knowledge via questionnaires, preparing internal trainers, differentiated programs for managers and workers, and using visual tools (luminometers, color identification) to foster a conscious attitude toward waste management.
Environmental Risks: Setting Priorities During a Risk Session
The note is dedicated to the proper setting of goals when conducting risk sessions to identify environmental risks using the ENVID tool. The author explains why detailed damage calculations and final formulations should be moved outside the face-to-face meeting, focusing the expert group on maximum search and draft recording of risks. Such an approach allows recording an order of magnitude more risks during the session and eliminates manipulation of final assessments by experts.
The Importance of Environmental Safety in Manufacturing
Production has a significant negative impact on the environment through emissions of harmful substances, water and soil pollution, as well as waste generation. This article examines the key role of environmental safety at enterprises in preserving natural resources and ensuring public health. The material reveals the main principles of environmental safety and practical measures necessary to reduce the harmful impact on nature.
Environmental Risks. Expert Group. Expectation vs. Reality
The effectiveness of environmental risk identification using the ENVID method directly depends on the quality of the expert group's work; however, in practice, risk sessions are often inefficient due to distractions and a lack of specialist activity. The article uses examples to examine the real behavior of participants during an in-person brainstorming session. The author shares basic rules for forming a working group of 6–8 people capable of expressing their opinions freely and delivering resu...
Results of Developing Environmental Safety Tools for Large Projects
A systematic approach to the digitalization and standardization of environmental control in large investment projects. Implementation of a documentation review matrix, an updated environmental risk assessment methodology with alphanumeric identification, and automated tools (checklists, damage calculators, state expertise comments registry).
Environmental Risks
Transitioning from formal registers to real environmental risk management using cross-functional teams and the HAZID/ENVIT methodology. The practice includes decomposing risks into factor, event, and consequence, as well as applying a "risk constructor" for accurate threat formulation and material assessment.
The Cycle of Water and Steel. Mission Possible
Implementation of water and waste recycling technologies at a large metallurgical enterprise to transition to a circular economy. Application of wastewater phytoremediation using native plants and biotesting of water bodies to assess real environmental impact.
Metalloinvest Group Environmental Strategy
Integration of environmental goals into the economic model of a large mining and metallurgical enterprise. Transition from qualitative to quantitative and financial assessment of environmental risks, where initiatives are viewed through ROI and production efficiency.
Implementation of Sustainable Development Principles by JSC Russian Railways
Implementation of the environmental strategy of JSC Russian Railways to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Introduction of an environmental monitoring system, development of renewable energy sources, installation of reverse vending machines for plastic collection, and industrial waste recycling.
