Unimil is proud to announce a historic achievement: obtaining ISO 14001 certification. This international certification reinforces our commitment to sustainability, establishing environmental management as one of the company’s strategic pillars.
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is an international standard that helps companies structure and implement an effective Environmental Management System (EMS). This certification not only ensures that the organization complies with environmental legislation, but also promotes the continuous improvement of its processes, aiming to reduce waste, optimize resources, and minimize environmental impacts.
Why is ISO 14001 certification important for Unimil?
This achievement goes beyond merely fulfilling legal obligations. ISO 14001 certification elevates Unimil to a level of excellence, benefiting employees, customers, suppliers, and, most importantly, the environment. Among the direct benefits, we highlight:
- Legal compliance: ensures we are aligned with all environmental laws, avoiding fines and legal risks.
- Practical sustainability: we implement more efficient processes, reducing waste and optimizing the use of energy and water.
- Internal engagement: employees feel motivated to be part of a company committed to sustainability.
- Market competitiveness: proper environmental practices increase Unimil’s credibility, attracting new business and strengthening partnerships.
Achieving ISO 14001 certification was a challenge that required a collective effort. The process involved implementing John Deere Group’s global environmental programs, infrastructure reviews, and team training. In addition, we conducted internal audits with the support of specialists to identify and correct potential non-conformities. Success in the external audit was only possible thanks to the commitment of departments such as Maintenance, Production, and Supply, which fully embraced the new environmental practices.
The certification marks a significant milestone, but the true challenge lies in maintaining the Environmental Management System in continuous alignment with the standard’s requirements. To this end, we will keep investing in training, continuous improvement, and cultivating an organizational culture that places sustainability at the core of every decision.
ISO 14001: Transforming Unimil’s Day-to-Day Practices
With the certification, Unimil adopts a more attentive approach to the inputs and outputs of its processes. This leads to more conscious decision-making, operational efficiency, and greater stakeholder engagement. Furthermore, strong environmental practices foster a more responsible work environment and strengthen our market positioning.
A Commitment to the Future
At Unimil, we believe that growing responsibly is essential to creating a better future for the next generations. ISO 14001 certification is more than an achievement; it is a reflection of our long-term vision and our desire to contribute to a more sustainable world.
