Need
Adoption of Integrated Management system is a step for business excellence, wherein the company opts to comply with more than one standard in an integrated way. Generally the integration is done of ISO 9001 standard with ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards. Such implementations demonstrate the commitment of the company towards the society at large while taking care of quality, environment and health and safety of their employees.
