Environmental initiatives

Alpiq has always promoted the interests of the Csepel community. We are fully aware that an industrial park the size of the Csepel Industrial Estate affects the local community. In and around Csepel, we have completed a number of community service projects to improve the environment and promote the welfare of the local community.

One such project was environmental education in the district schools. We used the opportunity to highlight the importance of selective waste collection. Recycling is a key company priority at Alpiq in both technology and office activity. By choosing environmentally friendly solutions, our company brings a "green" approach to its everyday activities.

An example of a successful recycling initiative is Csepel II’s water intake plant. In early 2007, we began to compact river debris. The project aimed to substantially reduce water content of river debris and to achieve a significant reduction in the volume of waste. The target was to reduce the volume of the debris 50% in the 1st year, and the figure attained was 62%. In 2008, the waste volume was reduced 94% from the 2006 figure.
