Mark Arbon, Engineering Manager and FANUC's 'EMS Champion', commented, "Achieving the accreditation in such a short period is a credit to the entire staff here at FANUC Robotics.
Key to success is acceptance of the strategy, its objectives, targets and revised working procedures where necessary.
"Key drivers of our business are environmental and health and safety issues in the manufacturing sector so it's fitting that we are seen to understand and be aware of the full impact of our own operations on the environment.
In achieving ISO 14001 it has helped everyone in our company to understand the importance of an environmental policy and its effective implementation through an Environmental Management System." Certification was accredited by independent auditors QMS who also guided FANUC through the process. Request free introductory details about products from Fanuc Robotics (UK) ...
