However, we do not see this only as a great challenge, but also as an opportunity to address several significant environmental protection issues in the City of Zagreb, such as waste management. Although many activities were carried out in 2017, especially in relation to the improvement of the quality of infrastructure for separate waste collection, we are aware of the major changes in work organization and technology ahead of us. These changes will allow us to successfully respond not only to new regulations, but also to the growing expectations of the citizens of Zagreb. We have been extremely dedicated in carrying out activities related to systematic energy and water management in all of the Group’s components. Results of these activities, among which is the introduction of the energy management system in accordance with the HR EN ISO 50001 standard, will be presented in more detail in the next report. Everything that we do revolves around people - our fellow citizens (service users) and our employees. This Report offers a wealth of information about all activities carried out by Zagreb Holding Group with the aim of improving the quality of communication with the citizens of Zagreb. For those purposes, we use all available communication channels, especially social media and digital applications which allow a prompt reaction in any situation that may arise. We have also described numerous projects and investments aimed at increasing the quality of public services, aware that the City is a complex mechanism, with high demands that may not all be fulfilled over the course of only one year. We would like to point out that this Report itself constitutes a governance tool, one that has raised many questions in relation to the quality of current processes and thus put an entirely different perspective on potential and continuous future improvements. To widen this new perspective even further, we invite you to read and comment on this Report.
