Green Chemical Solutions™ is supported by Cognis’ consistent commitment to quality, health and safety. Hence, we apply the same exacting standards to all our production facilities – irrespective of the level of social awareness that prevails in each region. In 2001, Cognis became the first chemical company to receive worldwide certification according to both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. While this certification process is still ongoing, in many cases our own SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Quality) management system actually goes beyond the demands of ISO standards.
