Electrolux has globally facilitated, locally owned management systems for the environment, occupational health and safety (OHS), quality and social issues.
Through our Environment Management System (EMS), we monitor, assess and correct environmental hazards and improve production efficiency.
To integrate management procedures throughout the Group, we have developed training programs in ISO14001, our Code of Conduct and safety programs. These are backed by measures to monitor performance, including internal and external audits. Data for our key performance indicators relating to OHS, production impact, product development and social indicators is collected on Group level on a yearly basis.
Group management has endorsed ISO14001 certification as vital--all manufacturing units with at least 50 employees are to be certified. Newly acquired units are to complete the certification process within three years after acquisition.
Environmental risk assessments have a strong influence on the due diligence process of acquisitions and divestments.
Our ISO 14001 systems are coordinated with ISO 9001 in the following areas:
- Management circle
- Development
- Purchasing and suppliers
- Personnel and training
- Internal and external auditing
