EHS Concept
Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System
In 1997, CSC obtained ISO 14001-Environmental Management System (EMS) certification and received the approval of ISO 14001: 2015 certification in 2018. CSC then combined EMS with ISO 45001:2018/TOSHMS(CNS 45001:2018) into the CSC EHS Management System, launched in 2018. Strategic decisions are made by Committee for EHS Management, chaired by the Executive VP. ESH Polcies will be formulated based on the importance and level of concern of the company's environmental issues after communication with external stakeholders, and are approved by the Chairman of the Board before implementation and subject to annual external audit.
