Cembre Group Policy

Cembre S.p.A. is constantly committed to pursuing customer satisfaction by combining high quality to protection of the environment and of the health and safety of workers.

Cembre S.p.A. operates to ensure the full satisfaction of its customers and of the users of its products, by meeting their needs and expectations, complying in rigorous fashion both with their real and practical needs and with international and national standards, laws and regulations, in full and constant awareness of the imperative need to limit negative impacts on the environment and to guarantee user safety.

Cembre S.p.A. therefore directs all its activities at achieving the following primary objectives:

• constant enhancement of the Company Management System
• increase in efficiency and efficacy of process management
• protection of the environment and the prevention of pollution
• careful protection of the health and safety of workers.

Cembre S.p.A. pursues these objectives through strict compliance with all provisions of national and EU laws on environmental protection, accident prevention and occupational health, never neglecting the research of technological and organisational innovations as factors bringing further benefit to the Company as well as its customers and users.

• Design, manufacture and sales of electrical connectors and associated tools, cable accessories, marking systems, equipment and products for railway applications.
• Tools for pressed joints for water, gas, steam, waste and HVAC and related accessories.
• Repairing, inspection and calibration of equipment and tools.

Cembre S.p.A. has recently recognised the need to align its Environmental Management System with the spirit and content of UNI EN ISO 14001 as fundamental to future development. 

To achieve this aim the Company undertook a demanding project to assess and evaluate all company functions and processes; from the development and design stage, to raw material selection and finally, the production process itself.

We have reached a new phase in this project as Cembre Ltd, a subsidiary company based in Great Britain, and the second production site of the Cembre Group, have recently achieved certification of their Environmental Management System according to ISO 14001:2015. Group certification of this standard now covers the headquarters in Brescia (together with the Italian regional offices in Bologna, Florence, Monza, Padua, Turin)  and Cembre Ltd.

As the Environmental Management System certification now covers all Cembre Group production facilities, all products can be manufactured to the same high level of environmental standards.

With sustainable development in mind, we are now able to;

• create opportunities to protect the environment by preventing or reducing environmental impact
• fulfil our compliance obligations
• improve our environmental performance
• design and manufacture products using materials and processes that respect the environment by ensuring the life expectancy of the products from manufacturing until disposal

Cembre S.p.A. has recently enhanced its business processes with the certification by Lloyd's Register of Quality Assurance, of its Management System for the Health and Safety of Workers, in accordance with the standard OHSAS18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System).

The project, launched in early 2011, was strategically designed to facilitate the active participation of all employees at every level in the application of systems management, in order to optimise compliance of risk management capability respecting laws and regulations concerning the health and safety of workers.

All employees have been extensively trained and are now involved by exercising their individual responsibility and competence. They are key players identifying any residual risk situations together with proposing corrective solutions.

For Cembre, this certification recognises the quality of work performed by employees, but importantly, provides an incentive to maintain a determined competitive advantage in increasingly difficult and aggressive international markets.
