ISO 14001:2015 certification demonstrates to partners and customers that the organization adopts good practices to reduce the environmental impact of its processes. ISO 14001 is the main reference standard for implementing a corporate policy that aims at continuous improvement of environmental performance and management.

Taking care of the environment and preventing companies from causing negative environmental impacts are two of the most important challenges that companies must face today.

One of the major benefits of implementing an environmental management system is the recognition that comes from being among those companies that care about increasing their degree of sustainability. This can lead to better relationships with both partners and consumers.

One of the major benefits of implementing an environmental management system is the recognition that comes from being among those companies that care about increasing their degree of sustainability.

Along with good public image, the environmental management system, through resource optimization, can also bring savings and consequent economic improvements.

SQAS (Safety and Quality Assessment System) in the corporate sphere is a crucial factor of international guarantee regarding the quality of logistics services provided in the chemical sector.
Iorio Transport and Logistics is among the only 15 companies in Italy to have received this certification.

The SQAS system was created in 1990 on the initiative of CEFIC – European Chemical Industry Council, within the Responsible Care program, with the purpose of improving the level of safety during transport, storage and handling of particularly hazardous substances such as chemical products.

It is an internationally recognized system for evaluating environmental, safety, security and quality performance of Logistics Service Providers to Chemical Companies, created with the purpose of improving the level of safety during transport, storage and handling of particularly harmful and dangerous substances such as chemical industry products.

SQAS is also important for evaluating a company’s performance in terms of environmental impact, safety and overall quality of logistics services performed in the chemical industry.
SQAS certification allows chemical companies to have an objective evaluation tool to use in the selection process of logistics service providers.

The European Council of Chemical Industries or Cefic (from the French name Conseil Européen des Fédérations de l’Industrie Chimique), founded in 1959, is the largest trade association for the chemical industry.

The headquarters are in Brussels. Cefic represents 29,000 large, medium and small chemical companies in Europe, interacting on behalf of its members with institutions, non-governmental organizations and international media.

Chemical companies account for a total of 1.2 million employees in the European Union.

In recent years, globalization and economic recession together with a constantly evolving and increasingly complex socio-economic context have required greater consolidation of the numerous management systems applicable to companies. This scenario led to the need to issue a new edition of the ISO 9001 standard, ISO 9001:2015.

The ISO 9001:2015 standard takes into consideration the entire system of needs and expectations of all interested parties (in terms of environmental protection, health and safety, social responsibility, energy management, privacy, etc.) within the specific corporate context in which an organization operates and which can contribute to improving customer satisfaction.
Customer satisfaction, therefore, is directly correlated to that of other interested parties (community members, company employees, etc.) and to having a socially responsible approach to the standard.

To this end, the quality management system model has become more flexible in order to improve its interaction with other management models and techniques used by organizations in their activities. Since all management systems – regardless of their specific application – have the common purpose of eliminating or reducing risks due to the variability and complexity of the reference corporate context, the new edition of ISO 9001:2015 contains risk management elements.

ESG certification, i.e. the evaluation of Environmental, Social and Governance impact performance of a company represents an important added value in terms of enhancing the positioning and performance of an entrepreneurial reality.

Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is a set of aspects considered when investing in a company, which recommends taking into account environmental, social and corporate governance issues.

The term ESG was first used in a 2004 report titled “Who Cares Wins”, a joint initiative of financial institutions at the invitation of the United Nations. In less than 20 years, the ESG movement has transformed from a corporate social responsibility initiative launched by the United Nations into a global phenomenon representing over $30 trillion in assets under management. In 2019 alone, according to Morningstar, Inc., capital flowed into ESG-linked products totaling $17.67 billion, an increase of nearly 525% from 2015. According to Morningstar, ESG investment funds in the United States recorded capital inflows of $3.1 billion in 2022, while non-ESG investment funds recorded capital outflows of $370 billion during that year’s stock market decline.
