ISO 14001
The norms for the ISO 14001 are integrated to the ISO 14000 series, created by the International Organization for Standardization, Non-governmental World Federation of Norms, with its headquarter in Switzerland and present in more than 130 countries.
The ISO 14000 series is formed by a set of norms and recommendations similar to the ISO 9000 series. Their objective, however, is to assist companies so that they may have an environmental performance in accordance to the legislation, control all the environmental aspects of their activities and commit to the improvement of the relationship between their production processes and the environment.
In Brazil, the ISO 14000 started in 1996 and according to the Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQI), about one hundred companies currently have their certificate of environmental quality - and Sadia is among them.
