UPM Raflatac achieves ISO 14001 certification in Australia

UPM Raflatac has received ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Systems certification for its labelstock manufacturing facility in Melbourne, Australia.

The company says that the certification represents a further step toward achieving one of its major goals for its facilities worldwide: developing Environmental Management Systems (EMS) which operate in accordance with an internationally recognized standard. This means that the Victoria site joins the ranks of other UPM Raflatac facilities in the United States, South Africa, Europe and China in setting the label industry’s standard for excellence in environmental performance.

‘UPM Raflatac has long been a leader in environmental sustainability, making critical investments to reduce the production of waste, ensure the responsible use of raw materials and promote recycling within the organization,’ said Nicholas Rodgers, responsible for the ISO certifications at UPM Raflatac Oceania.
