Maintaining highest standards for health and safety, and respect for the environment
Gentium is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for employees, and to preserving and protecting the environment. Health, safety and environmental matters are handled at Gentium with the same sense of responsibility as issues concerning quality and cost-efficiency. Furthermore, all employees are personally responsible for health, safety and the environment at the workplace to the full extent required by their duties, and to the best of their knowledge, ability and experience.
Health and Safety
Health and safety are key issues for Gentium, which aims to avoid accidents and occupational diseases, and to promote the health and well being of employees. Safety and the protection of health are therefore an integral part of every employee’s function, and are achieved through proper engineering, education, training, use of appropriate personal protective equipment, and compliance with relevant safety directives, rules, and regulations.
Environment
Careful use of resources with minimal environmental impact is an important factor in sustainable development. Reflecting its Environmental Policy, Gentium continuously strives to reduce its consumption of materials and energy, and to cut the quantities of waste and emissions it generates, for example by strictly separating and recycling where possible, and correctly disposing of all toxic, hazardous and biological waste.
Therefore, Gentium Management appreciates the importance of implementing, maintaining and documenting an Environmental Management System in accordance with UNI EN ISO 14001 standards and EMAS Regulation. Gentium published its Environmental Statement.
