Enhancing our Environmental Management System
VES received ISO14001 certification at our Miami Works in October of 2000. This was followed by the same certification at our New Orleans and Oita Works in September of 2001. Moreover, all of works shifted to the 2004 version of ISO14001 for the 2005 fiscal year. In fiscal 2010, a third renewal inspection was executed at both our New Orleans and Oita Works. Both had their certifications successfully renewed. In Fiscal 2012, a fourth renewal inspection at our Miami Works allowed it to also renew its certification. In addition, each of our works takes part in biannual system operation examinations by outside organizations.
