Sustainable development

The social responsibility policy is an integral part of OTEKO's activities. By giving priority to the implementation of investment projects, OTEKO is dedicated to the formation of a harmonious society. Our main goal is to strive for positive change regardless of our field of activity.

Environmental responsibility

Preservation of Taman’s natural riches is one of our company’s key objectives, along with the development of its industrial potential. OTEKO implements a set of organizational and technological measures to reduce the anthropogenic footprint and protect the environment.

At OTEKO terminals, closed transshipment of cargo is ensured: all operations, as far as practicable, are performed indoors, and outdoor cargo handling is minimized.

Independent environmental laboratories of FSBI “Center for Laboratory Analysis and Technical Measurements across the Southern Federal District” — CLATI Krasnodar Region, FSBI “Black Sea-Azov Directorate for Technical Supervision of the Sea” and “Volopas” regularly conduct monitoring of sea water, air and soil at the port of Taman, Taman station and the Volna locality. Based on the results of a multi-year study of the environment, experts have not found any exceedances of MPCs for harmful substances.

They include: grant support for pupils, students and teachers; competitions; vocational guidance for the younger generation; material support for kindergartens and educational institutions
