N&M Intensifies Sustainability Efforts with Two New ISO Certifications
The presentation of the certificates last week made it official: Neumann & Müller Veranstaltungstechnik (N&M) meets the high standards associated with certification to ISO 14001 and 45001. The company now has proof of its effective management systems in the fields of the environment and occupational health and safety. Martin Hartmann-Schüler, Sustainability Manager at N&M: "These certifications mark a significant step for Neumann & Müller. They underline our commitment to sustainable business practices and protecting our staff. But they will also spur us on to constantly intensify and advance our efforts in these fields."
Sustainable procurement that makes efficient use of resources, optimised transport logistics, regional crews and supplies, and less negative impact on the environment – these are just a few of the items on N&M's agenda aimed at improving performance in terms of the environment and achieving the company's environmental goals. Two important aspects in this respect are to heighten the awareness of staff and suppliers, and constantly endeavour to keep improving in terms of environmental protection. The integrated management system reviews the effectiveness of the measures taken and monitors the impact of the company's activities.
This system also plays a role in employee health and safety. It helps N&M to monitor occupational risks, ensure staff safety and prevent work-related accidents, injuries and illness. N&M's preventive action catalogue ranges from the mandatory use of personal protective equipment when working on projects through to workplace ergonomics and is anchored in internal process. It also aims to get employees actively involved. Once again, the principle of continuous improvement applies.
"By obtaining these new certifications, we have reached a further milestone on the road to sustainable business practices," says Florian Nürnberger, who accompanied the certification process in his role of Head of Technical Development. "Our corporate responsibility means looking beyond mere economics and shaping a sustainable future in which priority is also given to social justice and ecological integrity."
