We are committed to act responsibly and respond to the challenges of the 21st century. In the effort of fulfil our commitment to the environment, my colleagues have a number successful conferences, workshops and roundtable discussions in the past few years. Our institution has also published several professional publications raising public awareness.

We are in charge of tendering and the awarding of the Eco-friendly Trademark and the European Union Eco-Label under relevant national and European Union legislation.
Only a future generation, that is well-informed about the environment and nature, can ensure the future of our planet. Thus we consider education as one of our crucial tasks.
