The Belgian Burgo Ardennes sa company, owned by Burgo Group, has attained the OHSAS 18001:2007 certification.
The OHSAS (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) certification identifies the International occupational health and safety management system specification standard.

The certification of conformity attained by Burgo Ardennes certifies the voluntary application of a management system within the organisation granting adequate control, as well as strict and effective management of Health and Safety of people engaged in work, besides the full respect of current regulations and Company's values.

The management system regulated by OHSAS rule is set up by integration with the environmental management system inspired by the 14001 norm: occupational health and safety are important part of the continuous commitment of the Company towards a respectful and sustainable development.

Coherently, OHSAS certification follows ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications , FSC® and PEFC® chain-of-custody certifications and EMAS registration, all already attained by Burgo Ardennes, pursuing thus a policy of continuous improvement and constant concern on environmental matters.

Stakeholders from around the world are encouraged to comment on the revised Italian forest certification system. The global public consultation, which will last until 52010, is an important part of the assessment process of national systems seeking recognition by PEFC at international level. The current endorsement will expire on 18th October 2010.

"The revised Italian forest management standard is the product of the collaborative efforts of more the more than thirty specialists from all sectors of society that participated in the standard setting forum," said Antonio Brunori, Secretary General of PEFC Italy. "The year-long process, which also benefited from a public consultation at national level, resulted in an increase of prescriptive elements and additional normative indicators that forest managers are required to comply with in order to achieve PEFC certification."
