Environmental Health & SafetY Management System, Social Responsibility and Ethics
Special care for the environment is a priority commitment for ABB SACE. This is confirmed through the company’s Environmental Management System which is certified by RINA in compliance with the International ISO14001 Standard (ABB SACE was the first industry in the electromechanical sector in Italy to obtain this recognition). In 1999 the Environmental Management System was integrated with the Occupational Health and Safety Management System according to the OHSAS 18001 Standard and later, in 2005, with the SA 8000 (Social Accountability 8000) Standard. All this amounts to solid evidence of ABB’s commitment to respecting business ethics and promoting a safe and healthy work environment.
ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and SA8000 recognitions together with ISO 9001 made it possible to obtain RINA BEST 4 (Business Excellence Sustainable Task) certification. In addition to this, the following markings and certifications have beenachieved:
- GISA 01.02A03;
- LCA (Life Cycle Assessment).
The commitment to environmental protection becomes reality through:
