Bekaert Specialty Films LLC today announced it has earned ISO 14001:2004 certification, further solidifying BSF’s commitment to minimizing the manufacturing impact of its leading energy saving window films, sold under the Solar Gard®, Panorama® and Quantum® brands. ISO 14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems whose goal is to reduce the ecological footprint of a business and decrease pollution and waste.
To achieve this voluntary certification, Bekaert Specialty Films established an Environmental Management System (EMS) to ensure the company’s activities and products have minimal impact on the environment. Bekaert Specialty Films’ EMS helps monitor and improve energy efficiency, resource conservation, waste management and chemical control. Additionally the EMS aims to:
- Reduce the environmental impact of BSF’s manufacturing operations;
- Improve the work environment and create cross-functional teams that foster awareness, understanding and responsibility across the organization; and
