Sustainability

International Certification Authority

The International Certification Authority (ICA) operates in numerous countries around the world. Each and every day, our subsidiaries and representative offices ensure that the world is becoming a safer place. Sustainability is a business approach that creates long-term shareholder value, improves performance by removing waste and manages risk. It considers the interrelationship of economic, environmental and social issues. For example, a product using hazardous chemicals creates liability and social issues across the supply chain, from workers who may become ill at manufacturing sites or distribution centers, to consumers having adverse reactions to the product. Water supplies and soil may become contaminated from improper disposal of products and substances, creating negative long-term environmental effects. Economically, what initially appeared to be an inexpensive substance in a product is now a far more costly issue generating potential risk and liability. For consumer, electrical & electronics as well as wireless / smart world products, key sustainability issues include chemical management, carbon offset, eco-friendly packaging and environmental concerns such as chemical discharge, energy usage, waste disposal, and recycled content. We believe a better world means better business, and we are committed to help you produce and deliver eco-friendly goods to the marketplace in a sustainable manner. Here, you will find selected examples of successful projects that International Certification Authority has implemented for customers all over the world.
