Corporate Governance
SmVaK Ostrava has voluntarily undertaken to follow and comply with certain chapters in the Code of Administration and Management of Companies which was issued by the Securities Commission and is based on OECD Principles.
SmVaK Ostrava complies also with the Code of Ethics which is in force in its parent company, FCC Group, and included this code into its documentation. Respect for human rights is obviously a part of the internal policies of SmVaK Ostrava, particularly, in the rules of work.
Since 2006 SmVaK Ostrava has been certified pursuant to three quality systems:
- ČSN EN ISO 9001:2009 (the quality management system)
- ČSN EN ISO 14001:2005 (the environmental management system)
- ČSN OHSAS 18001:2008 (the occupational health and safety administration management system).
Only one year after introduction of the integrated management system SmVaK Ostrava was awarded the Certificate of Excellence. In November 2015 SmVaK Ostrava re-certified all three certificates until 2018. In 2015 the directors in SmVaK Ostrava decided to extend the integrated management systems and introduced another two certificates: ČSN ISO 50001 (the energy management systems) and ČSN ISO 14064-1 (specification with guidance at the organization level for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals).
