Saramac inc. and all of its personnel are proud to announce their ISO 14001-2004 certification.

 

The 21st century is in line with sustainable development; every company must strive towards this goal and most of them are communicating abundantly about it.

 

But words no longer suffice to ensure the protection of our planet; we must take action and devise concrete means to preserve it.

 

That is why Saramac decided, several years ago, to deem environmental concerns their priority.

 

Our research and achievements are always focused on creating environmentally friendly products – from their design stage to their end-of-life.

 

The ISO 14001 standard is the crowning point of our everyday efforts to offer you materials that are both green and of the highest quality.

What is the ISO 14001 – 2004 standard?

 

ISO standards ( I nternational O rganization for S tandardization) are an international standardization system of quality standards.

 

The ISO 14001 standard is awarded to companies whose products and services meet strict environmental management standards.

 

To obtain and maintain it, they must follow the model imposed by the standard and comply with the PDCA operating principle which commits them to the continuous improvement of their production:

 

Plan – Goals must be set and plans formulated; the company's situation must be analyzed, general objectives and intermediary targets set; plans must be developed to achieve them.

 

Do – What has been planned must be implemented.

 

Check – Results must be measured; the extent to which achievements meet planned objectives must be validated.

 

Act – Plans and their means of implementation must be corrected and improved; errors must be rectified and leveraged to progress and obtain better results in the future.
