Even if the compliance record is maintained, it is not disclosed to all employees, and nobody talks about it. Recently, there was a seminar in the company. Many experts from Industry associations like Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) conducted the seminar. The dangers of non compliance, ISO 14001 EMS certification, and Trade sanctions that are likely to increase were discussed. Even the senior level managers were involved and a lot of serious discussions took place. After a span of one month, you received a call from the senior manager.
