• the transition from OHSAS 18001 to the more recent ISO 45001 certification for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

Vincenzo Farina, HSE Manager of Industrie Chimiche Forestali S.p.A., stated:
“Despite the global context, we have maintained the organization’s strong commitment to quality, environmental, health, and occupational safety management systems. This year, we not only renewed these certifications but also extended them to meet the most recent regulatory requirements.

Furthermore, we have already begun the process of meeting the requirements of the IATF 16949 standard, developed by the ISO committee and the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), to harmonize and improve the quality of all products and services within the global automotive supply chain.”
