Waste management
Non-financial indicators:
Extraction and processing of crude oil and natural gas inherently involves production of hazardous and non-hazardous waste and drilling waste. In 2020, all PGNiG Group companies worked to optimise the volumes of generated waste, mainly by implementing new technology and using eco-friendly materials and products.
