GA Telesis, (GAT) has been awarded ISO 14001 certification reflecting the company's recognition of environmental sustainability and commitment to compliance with all relevant necessary regulations at GA Telesis facilities around the globe. The certification process follows standards set by the ISO – the International Organization for Standardization – to reduce the effect of global warming and to avert any and all adverse impacts to the global climate. In addition, the new Environmental Management System (EMS) is a voluntary commitment that GAT has initiated to benefit its customers, employees, and the environment.
The ISO implementation took place over a span of six months. Audits were conducted at GAT distribution centers and offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Istanbul, and Taiwan. As a result of this certification, GAT has greatly improved its environmentally sensitive operations by reducing the adverse impact our activities, processes, products, and services have on the environment using a systematic approach embodied in ISO 14001.
