ICMQ has just awarded the Environmental Management System certification under the UNI EN ISO 14001 standard to Unimed S.p.A.’s cement plant at Barletta.
With this certification, Barletta becomes the third cement plant in Italy and the second production site belonging to the Buzzi Unicem Group, to obtain this important recognition, and supports the commitment, principles, and main goals of our Corporate Policy, which strives to achieve maximum environmental efficiency and total compliance with the most current environmental standards.

Because the environment, health, and safety are so interconnected that it is impossible to manage and control one aspect without including the others, our corporate certification plan intends to voluntarily integrate the Environmental Management System with the management of health and safety, in compliance with both the UNI EN ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) standards.

This modern management tool gives the Group an important opportunity to demonstrate the positive aspects of our ecological and environmental responsibilities and to certify the high standards and efficiency of our prevention and protection measures, which are in keeping with the new European legislative philosophy that is seeking to redefine and promote the streamlining of bureaucratic and administrative processes.
To achieve this important goal, we will gradually implement the Integrated Environmental and Safety Management System in our cement manufacturing facilities.
