Nature and people

Starting with ourselves

Environmental responsibility is a key aspect of our work to protect the environment. Being responsible does not simply mean fulfilling formal and legal requirements, but is also an investment in human resources, protecting the environment, and relations with the company’s neighbors. For Troton, social responsibility means, first and foremost, an investment in society and the environment.

Our activities are based on the concept of “Green Chemistry”:

•  we use recyclable products – we encourage you to recycle our packagaing and raw materials so as to shrink the environmental footprint. Thanks to our collaboration with recycling companies, we recycled over 31.03 tonnes of raw materials.
• by minimizing waste, we protect the environment – we created a system for storing liquid products in silos, and transporting them through a system of tubes, which allows us to use materials in a controlled and waste-free manner.
• we avoid dangerous chemical compounds – we eliminate toxic products and replace them with substitutes which are more environmentally friendly.
• we limit the possibilities for dangerous accidents – our tubing system, which delivers materials directly to the work site, eliminates the danger of uncontrolled leaks into the natural environment.
• we educate – we bring the message of environmental consciousness to our own neighbours. Our workers are envolved in many ecological projects, among them: “save paper in the workplace” “waste paper marathon – exchange paper for medications”, or our annual “Cleaning of the river Parsęta”.
• we save energy – our workers’ environmental consciousness has allowed us use 5% less electricity than we used the previous year. Thanks to these solutions, which limit our environmental footprint, we obtained an ISO 14001 certificate.

Protecting wolves

The wolf is a species of mammal from the canid family, which inhabits forests, plains, marshes, and mountains. As a territorial animal, it requires vast expanses of space, which are rapidly disappearing as a result of urbanization and environmental degradation – and leading wolves to the brink of extinction.
In the interest of returning wolves to their natural environment, wildlife preserves are built, which allow for observation of the animals and their multiplication in an environment which closely resembles their natural one. In Poland, one of the most rapidly developing wildlife preserves  is the “stabnicka Stacja Doświadczalna Katedry Zoologii Akademii Rolniczej w Poznaniu”, founded in 1974. This center is primarily known as a place for direct observation of wolves, and for its mission of educating society about the importance of protecting this endangered predator. The center’s primary focus of study is the ecology and ethology of wolves. These studies include: comparisons between wolves and dogs, studies of vocal ac-tivity, and problems of territoriality as well as reactions to humans and their behavior.
Since 2005, TROTON has been a financial supporter of the Center. Our support is directed towards feeding animals which find themselves in the preserve, as well as providing ne-cessary heating materials for the winter months. After taking honorary patronage over the center, we made the wolf our corporate logo.

Waste paper marathon – helping our four-legged friends without homes

The shelter for homeless animals is a place where stray animals can obtain veterinary services, protection, and a little bit of affection. A shining example of good works for animals is the Polish Association for the Protection of Animals, Szczecin chapter, which organizes a contest called “waste paper marathon – exchanging paper for medications”. The marathon revolves around the collection of waste paper, which is then sold, and the proceeds donated to the shelter for homeless animals, for the purpose of buying medications. Schoolchildren from Szczecin take part in the competition, and compete for a main prize, which takes the form of an educational field trip. Over 25 schools take part in the marathon, and the current leader is elementary school number 51, “Stanisława Helsztyńskiego” in Szczecin, winner of the 7th annual competition, for having collected over 73372 kg.
In supporting the efforts of students to create a better life for animals, we decided to join in the collection of waste paper. Therefore, we collect waste paper from our employees every week, and donate it to a school taking part in the competition. In doing so, we support not only children’s education, but also the animals of Szczecin.
