MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
8th December 2021
Enfrio is a partner of industries operating in the internal combustion engine cooling sector and wants to be successful in this field. The Management is fully aware that success, to be such,
must be sustainable and therefore cannot disregard respect for the health and safety of workers and respect for the environment.
For these reasons, in addition to having equipped itself with an ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System in 2016 to pursue "maximum customer satisfaction in compliance with its
explicit and implicit expectations and needs", in relation to the quality of the products and services offered, has now decided to extend its system also to the management of environmental
issues and the health and safety of workers by satisfying the requirements of the ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards.
Enfrio, therefore, consistently with what is described above, through the Integrated Management System, has established
• continually improve, designing, manufacturing and promoting innovative products to anticipate market trends
• differentiate production and conquer new market shares
• comply with the current and mandatory applicable regulatory and legislative system
• provide safe and healthy working conditions to prevent situations that may cause injury or ill health to workers
• eliminate the dangers and reduce the risks to the health and safety of workers, improve relative performance by monitoring appropriate indicators
• protect the environment, prevent pollution, ensure the reduction of environmental impacts by monitoring appropriate indicators
• involve the workers, through the consultation of their representatives, in the participation in the improvement of the Health and Safety management system
• continuously improve its Integrated Management System and meet its compliance obligations
The latter were deduced from the analysis of the needs of the parties involved in Enfrio's activities, taking into account the context in which it operates.
The compliance obligations identified are therefore:
- implement and have an Integrated System certified in compliance with the requirements of the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards - ensure compliance with all environmental laws, energy savings and energy efficiency and the health and safety of workers - promote among all employees a sense of responsibility towards the environment, their own and colleagues' safety and health - establish and update emergency procedures aimed at limiting any accidental impact on the environment and / or on the health and safety of workers - get suppliers / partners aware to behave as much as possible in accordance with and equivalent to the prevention measures adopted by Enfrio in relation to safety, health of workers,
the environment. - communicate to the public the information necessary to understand the effects on the environment of the business activities performed - keep under control the waste produced, the pollutants used, the natural resources in order to limit the impact on the environment - review the design of their products to try to limit their impact at the various stages of their life cycle
An effectively applied Integrated Management System is relevant not only for the life and future of the company, but also for all the forces involved in its development. All the resources
of the organization are therefore invited to systematically apply the active procedures for which the Integrated Systems Office systematically carries out internal training and
awareness-raising moments. This is of fundamental importance because everyone in their role contributes to the effectiveness of the System. On the contrary, if the procedures were
not used correctly, there would be a high possibility of errors that could affect the whole organization.
The Management, on the other hand, undertakes to make available all the resources necessary to ensure the correct application of the Integrated Management System, also through the
work of its own manager. He systematically reviews the effectiveness of the System, through internal audits, data analyzes, monitoring of processes, products, feedback from the
customer, internal and external factors that can influence the organization, interested parties and their relevant requirements. In this process, if problems, non-conformities or weaknesses
are found, specific corrective and / or preventive actions are taken and their effectiveness is verified. These issues are periodically brought to the attention of the Management which can
consequently take the appropriate decisions and thus ensure continuous improvement for the organization.
