Metso businesses are building environmental management systems according to the ISO 14001 standard. The systematic approach strengthens both the operational environmental performance and the commitment and skills of the personnel. Furthermore, Metso invests in the environmental know-how of its subcontractors.

Within Metso, many production sites have integrated environment and quality into a single management system. Integration will now be facilitated by the fact that the new version ISO9001: 2000 and ISO14001 share the same basic principles.
