Certifications and Management Standards

In its application of the first principle of the Social Responsibility Policy for Occupational Health, Safety and Rights, and Environment, Pirelli is very active in the field of Management Systems that it uses to improve the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of its processes and further reduce their impact on employee health, work safety conditions and the external environment.

Since 1997, Pirelli has implemented environmental management systems for continuous improvement of its environmental performance. These systems have been created and certified in accordance with ISO 14001. All operating Tyre plants were certified at the end of 2010. The focus on management of environmental issues also falls on new plants, where the company considers the implementation and certification of environmental management systems in compliance with ISO 14001 to be binding and fundamental requirements. This activity, together with control and maintenance of previously implemented and certified systems, is coordinated on a centralised basis by the Health Safety and Environment Department.

In regard to the scope of the Pirelli Tyre production sites, in 2010 the Settimo Torinese plant used to process car tyres was decommissioned, and its production activities were transferred to the New Settimo Torinese Technological Centre, adjacent to the production plant used for industrial tyres. By the end of 2011, certification of the environmental management system will be extended to all activities located at the New Technological Centre, including those transferred from the old site at Settimo Torinese.
