We pay attention to environment, safety and health
Chemec Oy is committed to improving its operations on a continuous basis so that issues related to the environment, safety and health receive due attention. The company is also committed to developing its products and processes in a way that enhances the well-being of society.
We are committed to certified quality and environmental standards
ISO 9001 & ISO 14001
We pay attention to quality in all our operations when providing dynamic and innovative solutions to customers. To obtain the quality goals, we use the international standard ISO 9001, which specifies requirements for a quality management system.
ISO 9001 is the best-known and most-used quality standard worldwide. The continuous improvement process of ISO 9001 is visualised using the Deming cycle, also known as Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA). PDCA is an improvement cycle based on the scientific method of proposing a change in a process, implementing the change, measuring the results, and taking appropriate action.
In line with our environmental goals, we use ISO 14001:2015 standard, which specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system. ISO 14001 is a globally recognized standard focused on reducing environmental impacts and enhancing environmental performance. By adhering to this standard, we ensure a systematic approach to setting and achieving environmentally friendly objectives, from import and storage to processing, and export of chemicals, pigments and services related to this.
