Séché Environnement knows that social acceptance of its activities goes hand in hand with its capacity to demonstrate that the solution is not to keep garbage out of sight and out of mind.
Since its inception, the Group has sought to set the example from an environmental standpoint and has acquired its ISO 14001Standards related to environmental management certification, where the environment is integrated as an essential management tool. The Changé site was the first of its kind in the world to receive ISO 14001Standards related to environmental management certification in 1995 in this sector.
As an extension of the ISO 14001, the Changé site developed an occupation health management and work safety system that was awarded OHSAS 18001An occupational health and safety management system specification (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) certification in 2003, placing the Group once again as a leader in its field.
This proactive approach has been adopted by all of the Groups sites, which have received at least one of the following certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 14001Standards related to environmental management and OHSAS 18001.
This Endeavour has led the Group to set out work rules and practices, guaranteeing in the long term the safety of activities vis a vis the natural and human environment, and the continual search for improvement.
