Klabin’s Puma unit receives certification unprecedented in industry

Paraná, December 20, 2018 – Klabin’s Puma unit in Ortigueira, Paraná was awarded ISO 50001 certification, making it the first plant in the country’s pulp and paper industry to follow the best practices required by said certification. This recognition attests to the unit’s efforts to improve its energy performance and efficiency just little more than two years after its start-up.

 

“The certification, which was obtained after a series of audits, reinforces Klabin’s commitment to sustainable development and recognizes the engagement and dedication of all professionals involved in the topic, whether employees, contractors or suppliers,” said Sadi Oliveira, Industrial Pulp Officer at Klabin. “We’re very pleased with the certification, which represents yet another achievement.”

 

ISO 50001 certification is awarded to plants that follow good practices in energy management to ensure compliance with Brazilian legislation and good practices for loss reduction, conscientious consumption and prioritization of renewable energy sources.

 

The unit’s certifications include ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (2015 version) and OHSAS 18001/2007, which attest to best practices in quality management, environmental management and occupational health and safety management, respectively.
