Certification ISO 14001: 2015

Manage your company respecting the environment

La ISO 14001 it is part of a series of international standards, which concern the Environmental Management System, applicable to all types of organizations.

Attention to environmental Protection improves the image of a company and, at the same time, the correct management of environmental problems gives a organizational impulse and stimulates the business competitiveness.

Management policies compatible with environmental responsibilities have already become, in fact, an element of risk management and therefore a discriminating criterion in the choice of suppliers.

Customers sensitive to the responsibility of protecting the environment prefer supplies from companies with the same orientation; on environmental protection issues, for example, companies that demonstrate their commitment through compliance with internationally recognized standards, such as ISO 14001, are preferred.
