Barox is Committed to Reducing its Environmental Impact and Has been Awarded ISO 14001 Certification.

barox Kommunikation AG, the global manufacturer of professional standard switches, PoE media converters, and IP extenders specifically designed for video applications, has achieved ISO 14001 status.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for environmental management, ISO 14001, confirms barox as a manufacturer that takes environmental issues seriously and initiates measures to reduce its environmental impact through the successful implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS).

An ISO 14001-compliant EMS introduces a continuous improvement approach throughout the company, which systematically evaluates the company’s best and worst environmental impacts and uses this data to prioritize positive, concrete measures in the short, medium, and long term.

In some cases, process optimization can also lead directly to cost savings. Overall, however, the benefit of environmentally responsible action is an advantage for society.

“We show our customers that barox prioritizes environmental issues and acts accordingly,” says Angelo Banfi, barox co-founder and managing partner. “barox takes environmental issues seriously, and we are committed to reviewing, documenting, and implementing our workflows to minimize our environmental impact.”

“Environmentally responsible action benefits our company and our customers and aligns with a socially responsible ethic. For example, over the past two years, we have continuously reduced the proportion of plastics in our product packaging. This not only has a positive impact on the environment but also on our customers, who can now act more environmentally friendly when disposing of their barox packaging.”
