system certificate at a ceremony held on 15 November 2000 at PLIVA's headquarters |

in Zagreb. In the presence of Mr. Roland Zuvanic, Deputy Minister of Environmental |

and CEO of PLIVA, Mr. Leonardo Omodeo-Zorini, representative of the Norwegian |

<p> The environmental management system certification according to ISO 14001 standards |
11 |
represents a great achievement for NEVA, and is a recognition of the commitment |
12 |
of PLIVA, as NEVA's parent company, to environmental protection.</p> |
13 |
<p> PLIVA has been carrying out its business operations for decades according |
14 |
to the principles of good manufacturing practice, and complies with the most |
15 |
demanding international control standards. NEVA had already received the ISO |
16 |
9001 certification for quality management last year, and after obtaining the |
17 |
ISO 14001 certification NEVA is the first company in Croatia with an integral |
18 |
quality and environmental management system. </p> |
19 |
<p>This is a step further toward establishing an integral environmental management |
20 |
system in PLIVA, since PLIVA's experts had participated in the certification |
21 |
process in NEVA as a pilot-project for PLIVA's implementation. </p> |
22 |
<p>Environmental protection and social responsibility are closely connected with |
23 |
top performance in PLIVA, because coupling these factors will enable sustainable |
24 |
growth of the company and society as a whole. PLIVA, as the leading pharmaceutical |
25 |
company in Central and Eastern Europe, is taking an active role in contributing |
26 |
to this sustainable development.</p> |
