The global leader in extrusion and converting technology design and production, Davis-Standard, has announced that ISO 14001 certification was achieved by its main manufacturing facility and headquarters located in Pawcatuck, Connecticut. As part of its stated 2025 ESG targets, this milestone highlights the company’s continued commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability in its operations. The company’s ISO 14001-certified facilities in Fulton, New York; Vantaa, Finland; Dusseldorf, Germany; and Ecublens, Switzerland, are joined by the Pawcatuck location. By 2025, all of Davis-Standard’s manufacturing facilities worldwide are expected to receive ISO 14001 certification.
The internationally acclaimed ISO 14001 standard for environmental management systems focuses on systematically managing negative environmental impact. Davis-Standard exhibits its dedication to eco-friendly operations, adherence to relevant legislative requirements, and ongoing environmental performance enhancement with ISO 14001.
“At Davis-Standard, we believe in taking proactive measures to minimize our environmental impact and contribute to the plastics circular economy,” said CEO Giovanni Spitale. “The ISO 14001 certification for our Pawcatuck facility is a testament to our ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability into every aspect of our business, be it in new machines or retrofit upgrades to process biopolymers or circular economy structures to energy-efficient and waste-reducing equipment designs.”
Davis-Standard is aggressively pursuing efforts to lessen its carbon footprint by using carbon pollution-free electricity at our plants using ISO 14001 accreditation. The business is dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and understands its crucial position in the plastics industry. The organisation’s commitment to designing and producing equipment to address environmental issues is visible through its dedication to continuous development.
“We understand the importance of innovation in promoting sustainability in our industry,” added Spitale. “Our team is dedicated to developing cutting-edge technology that not only meets our customers’ needs but also aligns with their and our environmental goals. We are continuously working on designing equipment that enhances efficiency and reduces environmental impact.”
Davis-Standard’s emphasis on sustainability reflects a company culture that focuses on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles beyond merely adhering to regulations. This principle of Davis-Standard’s planning reflects Davis-Standard Community Days, which are occasions when staff members assist neighbourhood communities with tasks like planting trees and trash cleanups.
The business keeps spending money on R&D to be on the cutting edge of eco-friendly solutions and ensure that its goods support the circular economy.
This accomplishment represents a critical turning point for Davis-Standard, demonstrating the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship and establishing a benchmark for ethical corporate conduct in the plastics sector.
