January 26, 1998- Chicago, IL– McDonnell & Miller, a unit of ITT Industries, has received ISO 14001 certification.. McDonnell & Miller becomes only the 55th company in the United States, the first Illinois company, and the first ITT Industries Company in the U.S. to achieve this environmental management certificate.
The world-class environmental management system standard requires a commitment to continuous improvement, emergency response planning and independent monitoring of all environmental impact areas including energy and water consumption, sewage discharge, airborne emissions, hazardous materials and noise levels.
“Receiving ISO 14001 certification is a significant accomplishment for McDonnell & Miller,” said Robert Dvorak, McDonnell & Miller General Manager. “This enables us to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and provide a safer, healthier place to work.”
“We were able to fulfill the requirements for certification in seven months,” says McDonnell & Miller s Environmental Health and Training Coordinator Jeff Melo. “That s because we have an aggressive corporate environmental compliance program already in place.”
“We ll use less water and energy, while producing less waste,” says Melo. “ISO 14001 not only identifies you as an environmental leader, it also makes sense from a pure business standpoint.”
