Alcohol Counter Measure Systems (ACS), a global leader in the development and manufacturer of alcohol interlocks and breath alcohol testers to prevent impaired driving, announces that the company has received International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001:2015 certification for its Environmental Management System (EMS), reinforcing ACS values of continual improvement and commitment to environmental stewardship.ISO 14001:2015 is the international standard that focuses on practical tools for companies looking to manage their environmental responsibilities. ACS, as an international supplier to law enforcement, automotive, industrial, public and personal safety markets, is pleased to make this commitment to upholding the highest environmental standards across its business practices.

“The ISO 14001:2015 certification is an important achievement for ACS,” said Felix JE Comeau, President & CEO. “Environmental impact has always factored into our business strategy – ACS has been ISO 14001 certified since 2007. The ISO 14001:2015 certification standard further exemplifies our commitment to environmental performance in a socially responsible manner. This is engrained in our corporate culture and business management, as well as in the design, manufacturing, installation and servicing of our ALCOLOCK™ alcohol interlock products.”

“Our commitment to environmental stewardship provides us with a competitive advantage through improved efficiencies and reduced cost for our customers, such as lower energy consumption, reduced waste, and a strong commitment to mitigating risks of accidents. Additionally, we see continued interest from customers who view our role as environmental leaders, both in our products and our operations. We are proud to be a leader in the alcohol interlock industry with a full commitment to environmental responsibility.”

The company's EMS provides a framework to continually improve environmental performance and ensures rigorous environmental standards are continuously met through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste. Customers receive the utmost value for their investment in efficient interlock solutions.

ISO 14001-2015 certification requires an organization to demonstrate that their systems meet the very latest in global best practices for environmental management. To attain the ISO 14001:2015 certification, an organization must exhibit its commitment to sustainability and the environment by applying a management system that allows for continual improvement and the ability to conform to customer, statutory and regulatory environmental requirements. The auditing for this ISO certification was performed by NSF International Strategic Registrations, an accredited independent third party registrar.
