We have already reported on the issue of the Certificate confirming compliance of our Company's ecological management system to the requirements of international standard to SkyWay Technologies Co. by the Australian Company SAI Global. Early this year, the Company's administration took a decision on creating and introducing an ecological management system at SkyWay EcoTechnoPark in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14001:20015. This decision was based on the main objective of SkyWay program - creation of an eco-friendly and safe global highly-efficient transport and communication network of the "second level".

Progress in this direction continues, and after the international Certificate, the time has come to confirm the compliance of this system to the requirements of the national legislation, which is extremely important for the sustainable development of our Company working on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. Alina Selivanova, leading ecologist of SkyWay Technologies Co. explains why it is happening this way and at what stage this process is at present in a video interview that we offer to your attention.

Translation of the video:

Mikhail Kirichenko: Hallo everybody! Here is Mikhail Kirichenko with you. You are watching SkyWay news, where we tell you about the developments and implementation of breakthrough transport technologies. As you might have already guessed by the environment, we are today in SkyWay EcoTechnoPark. We confirm that "eco" in the name of the center for testing, demonstration and international certification of SkyWay technologies is used in it is not without reason. So, our today's talk partner is the leading ecologist of SkyWay Technologies Co. Alina Selivanova. Hallo, Alina!

Alina Selivanova: Good afternoon!

M.K.: Tell us, what are you doing today at EcoTechnoPark? What important work is in process on this nasty October day near Maryina Gorka?

A.S.: Today we are passing the first stage of certification audit on ecological management for the conformity with the standard ISO 14001 introduced in 2017. It is a new version of the standard that covers the requirements to ecology. We have done a great deal of work. And it was decided to obtain a Certificate that would really confirm eco-friendliness of our SkyWay string transport systems based on the example of EcoTechnoPark. Earlier we have already received an international version of the Certificate for conformity ISO 14001. Now we are going to receive the Certificate of ecological management in the national system.

M.K.: It is strange. Usually the national level goes first, then the international one. Why is it vice versa now?

A.S.: Now it happened so, because the international version was adopted in 2015, and the new version for the requirements from the Standards of the Republic of Belarus, i.e. our national standards, came into effect only in summer of 2017. I'd like to say that not every organization can emphasize the aspects positively influencing the environment. In our case we pointed out such aspects ? our cultural and technical measures that allowed to turn a waste land into a blossoming garden.

M.K.: Thank you very much. And, perhaps, the most important question. It is all fine, beautiful. We are protecting nature, we are emphasizing environmental aspects. What does it provide particularly to the project on creating SkyWay technologies and to all our partners?

A.S.: The acquisition of the ecological management Certificate both in the international and national systems gives us a complete confidence that we will be allowed to enter world markets. We know that many European Agencies do not allow to take part in tenders for those companies, which do not have such Certificate. We will also gain the trust from investors, potential suppliers and buyers of our technologies. We can say with complete certainty that our SkyWay technology is eco-friendly and harmless.
