AW-Lake announces it has achieved ISO 14001:2015 certification.
The ISO 14001:2015 certification demonstrates AW-Lake’s dedication to identifying, monitoring, and managing the environmental aspects and impacts of its operations.
“This certification process allowed us to focus on key environmental improvements such as upgrading to LED lighting, transitioning to energy-efficient oils, and incorporating UV water treatment technology,” noted Rachel Haynes, AW-Lake Mechanical Engineer. “These initiatives, along with our ongoing environmental audits and performance tracking, ensure that sustainability remains central to our operations.”
AW-Lake evaluates the effectiveness of its environmental management systems (EMS) through monthly walk-throughs, management reviews, external and internal audits, environmental key performance indicators (KPIs), and corrective and preventative action logs.

It reflects our strong commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability,” stated AW-Lake General Manager Chris Husson. “The process of meeting ISO-14001 requirements not only reinforced good environmental practices but also resulted in unexpected financial savings.
