Učka Nature Park and Istrian Motorway: coexistence in the sign of environmental protection

The Nature Park of Učka stretches over 160 square kilometres of beautiful natural landscapes. The distribution of the plants and animals makes Učka Nature Park one of the most important natural and scientific areas in Istria, and it is extremely important to take care of its protection.

As the Učka Tunnel lies within the territory of the Nature Park, we carry out special environmental protection measures and support the implementation of educational programmes for young people aimed at the preservation of natural resources. Once a year, our technical teams join the organization of the famous Učka Fair, which presents the cultural and ethnological heritage to its visitors through an traditional culinary offer, old crafts, music and customs.

Bina Istra Charity Concert by Maestro José Carreras

The Croatian Handball Team and 160 children played a tournament at the Istrian Motorway

Bina Istra organized a sports spectacle, the first of its kind in Croatia - a children’s handball tournament on a motorway. The tournament was organized at one of the Istrian Motorway Rest areas, where two professional courts and stands for more than 300 spectators were set up.

The tournament was attended by 160 young athletes from children’s handball clubs of Istria, Rijeka and Zagreb, while in the very end they were joined up the golden Croatian handball Olympics Džomba, Goluža, Saračević, Matošević, Načinović, Prskalo and others.

Employment of people with disabilities programme

Unemployment of disabled people is a real problem challenging the meaning of their overall social integration. Namely, it is considered that unemployment causes social isolation, lack of self-confidence and even low selfesteem as well as economic dependency.

Driven by the devastating statistics confirming that 8% of disabled people in Croatia have a job, business people should mobilize in creating actual opportunities offering employment to people who had no possibility to show their potential.

In order to provide an opportunity to the disabled, we launched a programme entitled Equal Opportunities. The aim of the programme is to adjust work processes to people with physical disability requiring individual approach, space and working environment adaptation and work methodology adaptation, in order to achieve equality in the fulfilment of tasks. Today, we are proud of our six new colleagues who have become members of our team.
