The management system at Apator SA
Increasing customer demands and growing, often global, competition are forcing companies to constantly seek better solutions that enable them to continuously improve product quality, reduce costs and create effective work processes and management structures. One such solution is the implementation of a quality management system within the company based on the PN-EN ISO 9001:2015 standard.
Out of concern for the natural environment, the company’s Management Board, on behalf of the entire workforce, is committed to complying with applicable environmental regulations, including those governing atmospheric emissions, wastewater and waste generation. This declaration of compliance stems from both applicable legislation and the provisions of the environmental management system, which was developed in accordance with the PN-EN ISO 14001:2015 standard. These requirements are also met by developing product designs based on environmentally friendly materials and production processes. By implementing an environmental management system and an occupational health and safety management system in accordance with PN-EN ISO 45001:2018, the company not only commits to protecting the natural environment but also ensures safe working conditions and significantly reduces its production costs. To safeguard its information assets, the company has implemented an information security management system in accordance with PN-EN ISO/IEC 27001:2013. The measures taken by the company focus on ensuring information security across all its information-processing systems, protecting the interests of the company, its shareholders, customers and business partners.
The published Management Policy sets out the shared objectives towards which all the company’s employees work.
