Having examined and analysed the application and accompanying documents received upon the open competition “UPCG award for DOP” for 2016, UPCG Commission has decided to grant award to Crnogorski elektroprenosni sistem AD for the category “taking care of the environment”.
Having in mind that the open competition is the continuation of UPCG’s activities assumed from the project “Social and responsible business operations for all“, the Commission of Employers’ Union relied on the criteria concerning sustainability of the projects presented, their innovations, etc.
CGES nominated the project of putting up artificial nests for Falco peregrinus. This is a unique project in Montenegro initiated by CGES in cooperation with CZIP, which gives this power company a special place and responsibility for environmental protection. This is the project of putting up artificial nests on high voltage transmission line towers with the aim of protecting Falco peregrinus. We have donated 30 houses for nesting of this rare bird to CZIP.
This project is a good practical example and is qualified, first of all, by innovation, involvement of more parties, increasing awareness of environmental protection and ... contributions to safeguarding the nature through the protection of birds, and protection against poachers, because, unfortunately, this kind of birds in Montenegro is, due to their pressure, on the verge of survival, meaning that the main objective is the survival of this bird species. The presence of sustainable nesting areas is of vital importance for this species.
Being the laureate of “UPCG award for DOP, we are sure that in the following period CGES will be working on the application of the principle of social and responsible business operations, and being the exemplar thereof will promote the principle among other business companies in Montenegro.
