Vetter Receives EHS Certification

Vetter has received certification for its integrated management system for environmental, health and safety (EHS), earning ISO 14001 and BS OHSAS 18001 certification for its environmental management system and occupational health and safety management system, respectively. The certifications cover all of Vetter’s European facilities and were issued by the international certification network IQNet.

The audits assessed how well the EHS program had been integrated into management and business processes and evaluated processes and organizational structures in production and lab areas, as well as work safety and waste management.

“We are working on the sustainable development of our company,” said Thomas Otto, Vetter managing director. “That means linking economy, ecology and social aspects in our daily work and future evolution. Through our management system for environmental, health and safety, we have created vital structures and processes. They range from environmental management officers, ergonomic working conditions and energy-saving production methods, to the recycling of waste. That our system has achieved certification shows that we are on the right path. We will continue committing our resources to pursuing ever further improvement.”
