Important changes in the Environmental Report

This chapter outlines the major substantive changes made to the 2015 Environmental Report in comparison with the 2014 Environmental Report.

  1. The 2015 Environmental Report has an amended structure and order of chapters.
  2. The 2015 Environmental Report excludes the company structure and quality policy, because the EMAS regulation does not require the submission of the said information.
  3. The structure of the environmental objectives’ chapter was amended to outline the significant environmental aspects, performance against the environmental objectives of the year reported and the environmental objectives set for the following year.
  4. Given that the environmental management system conforming to the EMAS regulation is only implemented in AS Tallinna Vesi, the 2015 report excludes information about the environmental performance of OÜ Watercom, subsidiary of AS Tallinna Vesi, except for the calculation of ecological footprint, which reflects the consumption of the entire group.
  5. Considerable changes were made to the content and structure of the chapters describing the Company’s core activities (chapters 11-14). The report excludes information, which is insignificant from environmental perspective. The structure of the report was amended so that the text follows the actual logical order of our core activities.
  6. Changes to various chapters of the Environmental Report also involve the exclusion of repetitive and low-key information. In the chapters, which are less significant with respect to the EMAS regulation, the focus lies only on important aspects.
