“Outsourcing allows us to concentrate our efforts on improvement, to maintain a simple yet effective management system, and to keep our certification.”

• René Kirouac, kraft pulp mill manager at Resolute Forest Products in Saint-Félicien

Outsourcing an environmental management system, what does that mean?

• Worry-free certification renewal;
• Management carried out by professional and dedicated resources, who are standards experts, and moreover who are independent of internal staff turnover;
• A rational and appropriate documentary structure;
• Efficient internal system audits;
• Management reviews focusing on the maintenance and improvement of the system;
• The opportunity of merging together the management of several systems: quality assurance, environment, FSC/PEFC, health and safety;
• Internal resources freed of system management consequently keeping their focus on contents, decisions and orientations.
