We want to continue producing safe sustainable steel, without which it is difficult to imagine our everyday life, we want to take a good care of our employees and support this region so that it can further develop. I personally enthusiastically monitor the development of the projects that we sponsor and I am glad that as a company we can help make the life in this city and this region better and better. Last year we achieved several significant milestones. Thanks to the environmental improvements in our operations, for several years in a row we were able to reduce an- nual emissions of dust. We achieved a historical minimum of 584 tonnes. And even though most of our operations have already achieved the emission levels that will be mandatory in the European Union only after several years, we have not stopped working to improve our environmental footprint. In 2012 we were able to apply for subsidies for our environmental projects for the first time. With the support of the European Union we would Thanks to the steps which we had Within the framework Dear readers, on the following like to implement projects worth implemented in order to increase of our corporate responsibility pages you can read more about more than 2.6 billion crowns whose efficiency and reduce our produc- activities we have been focusing the activities we pursued last objective is to reduce our environ- tion costs we were able to become on supporting the Moravian- year.
