Environmental Compliance

We utilize our Environmental Management System (EMS) to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and to track our environmental performance so we can continually evaluate and improve our processes. CMC’s Poland and Steel New Jersey operations, as well as our Tensar Division’s geogrid manufacturing operations in the UK and China, hold ISO 14001 certification, which is the most recognized global standard for an effective EMS. In addition, six of CMC’s mills in the United States are certified to the ISO 9001 standard for an effective Quality Management System (QMS), which covers certain environmental conditions, and three mills have QMSs that are modeled after the ISO 9001 standard. A full list of certifications is available on our website.

CMC’s environmental managers and support staff oversee environmental compliance programs and train employees on key topics and practices. Capital project submissions are overseen by our vice president of engineering, technology and manufacturing excellence, reporting to our senior vice president of operational and commercial excellence. Environmental performance metrics are reported quarterly to the executive leadership team and to CMC’s Board at least annually.
