ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TO ISO 14001:2004
A commitment to the future of the planet requires responsible attitude to environmental protection.
ü Compliance with ISO 14001:2004 is considered almost mandatory for big polluters, e.g., large manufacturing companies in the mining and chemical sectors. Apart from meeting the regulatory requirements, certification to ISO 14001:2004 is a demonstration that the company is operating to the best environmental protection standards.
ü ISO 14001:2004 raises the public image of a company even if it is not a major contributor to pollution or to the depletion of valuable resources. It is, therefore, recommended to any company with consistent PR policies which wants to prove to the community that it uses an environmentally-friendly approach in its operations.
HEALTH & SAFETY TO OHSAS 18001
Regulatory requirements in the European Union are very tough but meeting the requirements of a standard which is monitored through independent certification adds value and image to any employer.
SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY TO SA 8000
ü Corporate social responsibility is an issue of growing importance for multinational companies that insist on an impeccable image as an employer. Bulgarian labour legislation is aligned with both EU regulations and the conventions of the International Labour Organization, therefore, almost all companies in this country apply the best practices the protection of employee rights.
ü Top Management Advisors Ltd. has consulted the first SA 8000-certified company in Bulgaria and we hope that other organizations will follow suit to demonstrate their adherence to human rights principles on the job.
