Enviromental Management Certification

Since its establishment, IREPA ONLUS has been developing research projects concerning the fishery sector with a view to preventing the ichthyic resources from being overexploited. To this purpose, the Institute developed a unit for the research and environmental certification, which works in partnership with other environmental operators. The personnel working with Irepa have multidisciplinary qualifications. The internal staff dealing with economic, biological, environmental, engineering, IT and cartographic sectors work in close connection with qualified environmental auditors. Thus, the Institute is able to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) certified according to ISO standards and/or registered in conformity with EMAS regulation. By sharing the same values, innovative methodologies and efficient organisational structures, the EMS provides visibility towards both internal and external interlocutors. At the same time, it supplies clear, direct and documented answers to the following:
- Consumers who buy goods that are manufactured respecting the environment and who prefer companies involved in the preservation of the ecosystem;
- Suppliers, oriented to qualified and standardised relationships, who consider certification and registration as an essential prerequisite to create a productive food chain.
- Public Administration, which, in legislating on environmental issues, represents a limit for those companies with a poorly organised control of their activities.
