ISO 14001 Policy

Introduction

Maharam is committed to the implementation of progressive environmental practices as a matter of corporate and design philosophy. Environmental efforts focus on two fundamental areas: business practices and product design.

Foremost among Maharam's efforts as a "good corporate citizen" is ISO 14001 certification. ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized environmental management system which ensures that every environmental impact stemming from business practices has been identified and measured with the guidance of an environmental consulting firm, and that initiatives have been put in place to reduce those impacts.

Policy

Maharam is committed to minimizing the environmental impacts associated with its operating activities. Our Environmental Policy demonstrates Maharam's commitment to:

   • Compliance with relevant environmental laws and regulations, and with other requirements to which
      Maharam subscribes which relate to its environmental aspects.
   • Prevention of Pollution
   • Continual Improvement of our EMS and our environmental performance

Management shall direct the effective implementation of this policy through:

   • Communication to all employees, visitors and contractors
   • Employee participation
   • Goals and Targets
   • Audits

We will make every reasonable effort to put our practices through an environmental filter not only as a matter of being a good corporate citizen but simply put, because we believe that this is the right thing to do.
