Passed an audit and received two certificates valid until 2026
The Russian automotive giant AvtoVAZ announced its latest audit, which confirmed compliance with the international standard ISO 14001.
The audit was carried out by the certification body Intercertifica, which noted that AvtoVAZ divisions are working to improve the environmental friendliness of technological processes.
Auditors named effective measures to reduce energy consumption as one of the strengths of AvtoVAZ’s environmental activities. In all departments, mercury-containing lamps are being replaced with LED lamps, and the roofing of workshops is being changed to something more effective in terms of reducing heat loss.
AvtoVAZ improves the environmental friendliness of production
The press service said:
In addition, over the past year, the body painting industry has repaired filters in three painting chambers, which helps improve air purification. Installations for pumping process fluids were consistently introduced in various departments, which reduces the likelihood of leaks. In the production of iron castings and forgings, four automatic molding lines have been modernized, which reduces compressed air consumption. Also during the audit, a high level of implementation of investment measures and the involvement of managers and staff in environmental activities was noted.
AvtoVAZ first received a certificate of compliance with ISO 14001 requirements in 2005, and since then external audits of the environmental management system have been carried out annually.
A feature of the audit conducted in 2023 was that at the same time the compliance of the system and its Russian version, GOST R ISO 14001, was also assessed. Based on the results of the audit, certificates of compliance with two standards were issued, valid until 2026.
