DOWNIE TIMBER LTD. achieves ISO 14001:(1996) Registration In February 2004, an audit team from QMI (A division of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA Group), conducted a registration audit of the Downie Timber Ltd. Woodlands Operation on Forest Licence A31102 and A17644. The audit determined that Downie Timber Ltd. had implemented an effective Environmental Management System (EMS) that met the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard. The official ISO 14001certification was achieved in March 2004. ISO is the International Organization for Standardization founded in Geneva in 1946 and is a recognized international standard with accredited auditors located around the world. ISO 14001 is the only standard in the ISO 14000 series against which an organization’s environmental management system (EMS) can be certified. The EMS provides a framework to identify and address significant environmental aspects and related impacts of its activities. All relevant legislation must be adhered to, and a commitment to continual improvement must be made. See our Woodlands Environmental Policy (129KB PDF).
