ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Dexco has publicly committed to legal compliance and sustainable development through its Environmental Policy and management practices. Our principles apply to all of our manufacturing, administrative, and forestry sites and guide our management based on Dexco’s values, which are described by our purpose and organizational culture (Our Way to Be and Do Things), aiming process and control improvements.

The company takes ISO 14001 as a framework to implement its Environmental Management System across its manufacturing sites.

Our forestry operation has been certified for Responsible Forest Management since 1995, ensuring its activities are carried out in an economically feasible, environmental friendly, and socially beneficial way.

Both standards provide management guidelines that form the base of Dexco’s Environmental Policy, which regulates our environmental management internally.
