ISO 14001 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

OLAB is certified sustainability

The ISO 14001 certification represents a standard of excellence in the field of environmental management, aimed at guiding organizations in reducing their environmental impact during the normal course of business operations. By adopting an Environmental Management System (EMS) in compliance with this standard, companies not only demonstrate a sensitivity towards environmental issues but also a concrete commitment to the continuous improvement of their environmental performance.

This international standard, issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides a detailed framework that companies can follow to establish, implement, maintain, and continuously improve their EMS. The goal is to minimize negative effects on the environment, comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and work towards quantifiable environmental objectives that promote sustainability.

Achieving ISO 14001 certification means having successfully implemented a management system that considers all relevant environmental aspects, including resource use, waste management, industrial effluent discharges, and emissions, and takes care of mitigating their direct and indirect impacts. This involves careful planning, the execution of good operating practices, the verification of the effectiveness of such practices through regular audits, and the adoption of corrective actions where necessary.

For us, the ISO 14001 certification is not just an extremely important milestone that testifies to our environmental responsibility; it contributes to creating a competitive advantage, enhancing operational efficiency through the rigorous management of costs related to waste disposal, energy consumption, and resource use.

ISO 14001 is more than just a certificate; it is a commitment to environmental excellence and a step forward towards long-term sustainability.
