SWISS and Swiss WorldCargo have secured their first-ever validation under Europe’s EMAS environmental management system. They have also earned the international ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems. As a result, SWISS will now be publishing an annual environmental report.

EMAS is a voluntary-membership framework, established by the European Union to help companies continuously improve their environmental performance. Validation requires the company to meet all the standards of the ISO 14001 international environmental management norm and satisfy further demands regarding transparency and continuous improvement. EMAS is regarded as the world’s most demanding environmental management system.
