Amidst the change of the automotive industry to electrification and intelligence, the evaluation of a supplier’s authority and reliability has by far gone far beyond product performance and functional safety. It now goes further to their long term responsibility towards the environment and society. Today, we turn our attention to something other than the outstanding performance of DAISCH’s IMU products, and focus on another equally important achievement, i.e., the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certification. This milestone marks that DAISCH as a world leader in IMU research and manufacturing has deeply rooted environmental protection in its strategic core, and has accomplished its unremitting idea of sustainable development through a systematic and internationally recognized standard.
ISO 14001: More Than a Certificate and Philosophy of Sustainable Management
ISO 14001 is an internationally- recognized environmental management standard that gives organizations a systematic framework to create, implement, maintain and continually improve their environmental management systems. Its philosophy of management focuses on “proactive management” instead of “reactive response.”
Achieving this certification means that an organization is able to:
- Systematic identification and control of the environmental impacts of its activities.
- Setting goals for continuous improvement and a desire to improve environmental performance.
- Complying with environmental regulations for compliance with operational compliance.
- Actions to incorporate environmental considerations into every part of business management from R&D, design, to production and manufacturing.
For a high tech company such as DAISCH, this certification is not a mandatory requirement, but a corporate responsibility from the heart.
Green Manufacturing Is an Added Dimension to DAISCH’s Reliability
The certification to ISO 14001 gives a critical “green” dimension to the brand image of DAISCH for “authoritative and reliable”:
- Responsibility to Environment is Responsibility to Customers
- A company which maintains good values in environmental management cannot but maintain strict values in resource and waste usage, and in the management of energy. This systematic management approach is in perfect harmony with the IATF 16949 quality system and together, influence DAISCH’s robust, disciplined and predictable organizational characteristics. By choosing such a supplier, customers obtain, not only a high-quality product but also a guarantee of long-term and stable supply chain.
- Environmental Considerations Across the Lifecycle of the Product
- ISO 14001 requires that companies take into account the factors of environmental impacts from the design of their products. This allows to assure that when DAISCH develops its IMUs, it considers the material choice, the energy efficiency optimization and the product recyclability. This forward-looking design philosophy ensures that DAISCH’s products are not only ahead of the present, but that they will also be in compliance with ever-increasing global environmental regulations going forward.
- Green Business Card Recognized by Global Top Partners
- Today, environmental performance (ESG) is gaining more and more importance for global mainstream car manufacturers in partner selection. DAISCH’s certification to ISO 14001 is a very strong reply to this trend. It sends a clear message to all partners: DAISCH is a modern, environmentally mindful, and forward-thinking enterprise which keeps up with the international trends and is a trustworthy enterprise.
Conclusion
DAISCH’s certification to ISO 14001 provides yet another proof of the expansively recognised news: as in the case of functional safety (ISO 26262) and quality management (IATF 16949), the ISO 14001 certification builds a picture of what it falls to be a genuinely world-class company: one which makes tomorrow now, with device technology that would build the world, epochs of safety and finest requirements, and gives creation the duty towards world to concrete action.
