ISO 14001Completion of ISO 14001 bears witness to the consistent improvement of our processes, namely in waste management, optimal energy usage, surveillance and prevention of pollution and the use of the means necessary to ensure the active collaboration of Torraspapel’s operations with sustainable development.Since June 2005, all the company’s paper and pulp production has been ISO 14001 certified.
EMAS All Torraspapel’s mills have successfully completed the strict environmental review required by EMAS.
The European environmental management and audit system known internationally as EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) is a voluntary system that promotes continuous improvement of the environmental behavior of public and private organizations through:
- Implementation of an environmental management system
- Systematic, regular and objective evaluation of the system
- Information to public and stakeholders
- Training and active involvement of employees
The system is based on the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management and requires, in addition, the elaboration of an environmental declaration verified by an external auditor and made available to the public. EMAS is a symbol of modern environmental management, transparency and environmental commitment. PEFC & FSC Chain of Custody Certification makes it possible to verify, via traceability, that the wood used in the production process comes from forests managed according to sustainability criteria, guaranteeing the preservation of forests and improvement of the social conditions of forest workers and local communities. Torraspapel holds multi-site PEFC and FSC accreditations for the chains of custody of its entire product range – pulp, coated and uncoated paper, carbonless, thermal, cast-coated, metallized and self-adhesive products – including the papers sold by its merchants and through its sales offices.
