Penne NV has been accorded ISO 14001 environmental certification by the accreditation body DNV. This certification recognizes that all on-site activities conform to strict environmental protection standards.
Like ISO/TS16949 and ISO 9001 for which Penne has already been granted, ISO 14001 is based on the concepts of quality assurance and continuous improvement. In order to obtain this certification, specific environmental risks analysis and mitigation, and pollution reduction programs have been implemented, regarding the fabrication plant activity.
The ISO 14001:2004 standard is an internationally recognized framework that requires a company to demonstrate a commitment to compliance with applicable environmental legislation and requirements, and a commitment to continual improvement. According to the International Organization for Standards, ISO 14001:2004 certification helps assure employees, customers, suppliers, the community and regulatory agencies that the company is an environmentally responsible organization.
This certification is the culmination of our efforts to become an environmentally sound company, efforts that began several years ago. We are very proud of the fact that our manufacturing process produces no hazardous waste.
