Strict environmental management
Nexans’ environmental and safety policy is set out in a Risk Management Charter, and includes a thorough assessment of industrial risks associated with the Group’s products and manufacturing processes, a continuous improvement program and employee training courses on environmental best practices.
The Industrial Management Department is responsible for steering the policy. The CSR Committee, which includes representatives from functional departments, meets twice a year to review and approve the approaches the Industrial Management Department has proposed for the following year.
A Group Environmental Manual outlines the objectives, procedures and tools available to each site. A dedicated Intranet site is available allowing employees to access all of the Group’s environment-related data and share best practices, which are organized by subject matter.
Exacting certification procedures
Nexans’ environmental management system is in line with ISO 14001 and is based on monitoring the environmental performance of Group sites through an in-depth survey and specialized audits. The Nexans EHP label (Environnement Hautement Protégé or Highly Protected Environment) is awarded to sites that meet the Group’s environmental criteria, which are adapted to Nexans’ operations.
Both in Germany and Korea, every site has received the EHP label.
