AUSTIN, TX -- February 15, 2011
Cerqa, one of the most respected names in Commercial Printing and Supply Chain Management,
today announced that it has become a ISO 14001 certified. ISO 14001 is an environmental
management standard that helps organizations with:
- Minimize how their operations (processes, production, etc) negatively affect the
environment.
- Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other environmentally
oriented requirements.
- Continually improve in the above.
The fundamental principle and overall goal of the ISO 14001 standard, is the concept
of continual improvement. ISO 14001 is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology
which has been expanded to include 17 elements, grouped into five phases that relate
to Plan-Do-Check-Act; Environmental Policy, Planning, Implementation & Operation,
Checking & Corrective Action and lastly Management Review. ISO 14001, as with other
ISO 14000 standards, is voluntary, with its main aim to assist companies in continually
improving their environmental performance, whilst complying with any applicable
legislation. Organizations are responsible for setting their own targets and performance
measures, with the standard serving to assist them in meeting objectives and goals
and the subsequent monitoring and measurement of these.
Cerqa is dedicated to providing sustainable business practices while maintaining
the integrity of our raw resources. The ISO 14001 certification is just another
step Cerqa takes to attempt to reduce its footprint on the planet. In addition we
are constantly improving recycling, environmentally friendly inks and certified
FSC papers that promote sustainability.
