CANTON, Mass. — Sika Sarnafil, a leader in sustainable long-term solutions for roofing and waterproofing, has made a management commitment to top environmental, sustainability and safety standards by the successful registration to Responsible Care 14001:2009 and ISO 14001:2004 standards. The certification for environmental and safety standards covers the Sika Sarnafil U.S. manufacturing facility and offices in Canton, Mass., and all seven other company facilities across the country.

Implementing the standards under both programs formalizes Sika Sarnafil’s commitment to constant improvement in safety and environmental performance. Responsible Care is a global chemical industry performance initiative implemented in the U.S. by the American Chemical Council. Responsible Care companies have reduced environmental releases by 73 percent over the past 18 years and achieved an employee safety record that is more than four times safer than the average of the U.S. manufacturing sector as a whole. Since 1992, RC companies have reduced greenhouse gas intensity by a remarkable 23 percent. All of the more than 200 companies taking part in the Responsible Care initiative undergo headquarters and facility audits to assure that they have a structure and system in place to measure, manage and verify performance.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the world’s largest developer and publisher of International Standards. Successful registration to the ISO 14001:2004 standard means that an organization has met specific environmental management system standards. For more information, stop by booth 2311.
