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, achieve reduction in 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, undertakes to comply with the requirements of applicable legal regulations regarding environmental aspects within the company, including: emissions into the atmosphere, wastewater and waste generated. This declaration of compliance stems both from applicable legal regulations and from the provisions contained in the environmental management system developed in accordance with the PN EN ISO 14001:2015 standard. The above requirements are also met through the development of product designs based on environmentally friendly materials and technological processes. By implementing an environmental management system and an occupational health and safety management system in accordance with PN ISO 45001:2018, the company not only commits to protecting the natural environment, but also ensures safe operating conditions and significantly reduces its production costs. In order to safeguard the organisation’s information assets, an information security management system in accordance with PN-EN ISO/IEC 27001:2013 has been implemented within the company. The measures taken by the Company are focused on ensuring information security across all its information processing systems, taking into account the protection of the interests of the Company, its shareholders, as well as its customers and business partners.
The Management Policy, which has been formulated and published, sets out the objective towards which all the company’s employees are working.
