We Care

Environmental sustainability

‘Plant a tree and then sit back and wait,’ says an old African proverb. And perhaps this simple statement should be at the heart of the kind of sustainable development that meets everyday needs without jeopardizing the requirements of future generations. We are all linked, with each of our actions having a subsequent effect, so we need to be conscious of our relationship with the world around us and other living creatures. This is why Emak has always been totally committed to acting responsibly towards the environment, by developing new environmentally sustainable products that safeguard the planet’s natural resources.

Quality, Ethics and the Environment

First in the world with three quality certificates

The environment is our priority, every single day. Our corporate philosophy and our efficient Integrated Management System ensure sustainability at every level of production. As a result we were the first in our field to have been conferred three certifications in the three crucial areas of quality, environmental protection and human resource development. We have achieved excellence in each of these three fields, encouraging us to strive to top our own high standards.

ISO 9001:2008 - Quality

Granted by the firm Det Norske Veritas (DNV) in 1996, this was the first official acknowledgement of our working methods. In fact we were the first firm in our sector to be granted the ISO 9001 certification. This is recognition of our commitment to quality and continual improvement.

SA 8000: 2008 - Ethics

The principal international benchmark, this recognizes ethical processes of production based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. In particular the certificate incorporates various standards relating to health, safety, child labour and other issues. The certification, granted by DNV at the end of 2006, is concrete proof of our willingness to protect human rights and the interests of our entire community of workers, consumers and investors.

ISO 14001:2004 - The environment

Also granted by DNV, at the conclusion of an auditing period of several months, this demonstrates our production cycle has been planned to prevent pollution and safeguard natural resources. As a result our constant commitment and responsibility have undergone long-term planning, to safeguard resources and guarantee them for the benefit of future generations.

Burn Right

New ecologically advanced engines
In accordance with these policies, we aim to make safeguarding the natural environment a priority in the development of all our products since living and working in contact with nature above all means protecting it. This commitment has led to the development of a range of technological enhancements, under the banner Burn Right, to produce reliable high-quality machinery with drastically reduced potentiallynoxious emissions, in order to protect the environment. These ecologically-compatible developments will be adopted in numerous products from 2008 (in accordance with EURO 2 and EPA 2 norms) guaranteeing a reduction of up to 75% of pollutant gases and a 30% diminution in consumption, with no resultant effects on performance.
