Integrated policy

Fonderie Palmieri spa, which has been manufacturing cast iron castings since 1968, has always been aware that proposing and implementing a competitive model based on maximum quality and efficiency — in terms of both non-quality and social costs — is a matter of primary importance.
It has therefore planned and established an integrated management system in accordance with the standards
UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, UNI EN ISO 14001:2015, UNI ISO 45001:2018, UNI CEI EN ISO 50001:2018 and ISO 22163:2023
for the railway sector, in order to continuously ensure the conformity of its products with customer requirements and applicable legal requirements.

Great consideration has also been given to the reference regulations for health and safety in the workplace.

Fonderie Palmieri is therefore committed to constantly pursuing the points listed below.

COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Sustainable development and the progressive reduction of the environmental impacts related to the company’s activities, through a commitment to conserving natural resources and to minimising and, where possible, eliminating negative environmental effects and associated risks through the use of BAT and the application of good working practices.

CUSTOMER INVOLVEMENT

Customer and stakeholder satisfaction through the direct involvement of the customer in the design and development phases of the castings, continuous staff training and the search for state-of-the-art materials and technologies, raising supplier awareness and sharing correct operating practices, ongoing collaboration with Regulatory Bodies and the local community, and the scheduling of dedicated school visits.

TRAINING AND STAFF RESPONSIBILITY

Training, information, instruction and awareness through a continuous analysis of the training needs of the personnel operating on behalf of Fonderie Palmieri spa, in order to guarantee compliance with legal requirements regarding occupational health and safety and environmental matters, with the aim of increasing staff awareness for a safer and more environmentally sustainable activity.

ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION NEEDS

The continuous analysis of needs, also in relation to the skills required to manufacture the products (acquiring ever-greater knowledge in the fields of metallurgy, products, production techniques, monitoring tests, instrumentation, etc.). This entails defining a structure (organisation chart) that allows the performance of the Integrated Management System to be kept under control and guarantees its continuous improvement.

BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS

Collaboration with interested parties through training, awareness-raising and the creation of partnership relationships with suppliers, in order to identify opportunities to improve environmental, safety and workplace health performance.

DESIGN OF SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE PROCESSES

The design and development of safe and environmentally sustainable processes through the analysis of significant environmental aspects, the risks associated with the activity, compliance requirements with all relevant legal provisions, and the prevention of pollution, accidents and occupational diseases through the optimisation of production processes; assessing every significant change to the existing activity, both in terms of production and structure.

REDUCTION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Committing to achieving the stated targets for reducing the site’s energy consumption (measured in toe, tonnes of oil equivalent).

EFFICIENT USE OF ENERGY
