Protecting the health and safety of workers, preserving the environment and efficient energy management are all part of the business strategy of HEP-Operator Distribucijskog Sustava d.o.o.

The environmental management system to the international standard ISO 14001 was the first management system certified at the level of 21 distribution areas and HEP ODS’s headquarters back in 2013. In 2018, a transition of this system to the new ISO 14001: 2015 standard was carried out successfully. The Occupational Health and Safety Management System for Employees was established in 2015, and in 2017, for the first time, was successfully certified to OHSAS 18001: 2007 standard. The transition of this system onto demanding ISO 45001:2018 norms was carried out successfully in 2019. The main commitment of HEP ODS, when it comes to energy management, is the achievement of permanent energy performances on all business facilities, equipment and machines, including the decrease of losses in the distribution network through the implemented energy management system according to ISO 50001:2001, which has been confirmed by the TÜV Croatia d.o.o. certificate.
 
In 2017, the implementation of the integrated system for quality, environmental and energy efficiency management continued at HEP-Toplinarstvo d.o.o. (HEP-District Heating).
