Environmental management systems

All Nolato production units are to be certified in accordance with the requirements of the environmental management system ISO 14001. Certification is an important tool in the systematic work, with internal and external audits that place demands in terms of constant improvements in sustainability work. The first unit was certified as early as in 1997.
 In 2011, Nolato Contour, which was acquired by the Group in 2010, has prepared its certification. The certification institute’s audits were carried out in January 2012, and certification is expected to be complete in March 2012. Certification work is also under way at Lövepac Converting in India, and certification is expected in 2012. The smaller, newly started up operations in Malaysia and Romania have not yet commenced their certification work.
 Since 2010, Nolato Beijing has also been certified in accordance with occupational health and safety management standard OHSAS 18001, and work is in progress to introduce this occupational health and safety system at Lövepac Converting’s units in China as well.
