Since 2019, we have been aligning our occupational health & safety processes and standards with the new ISO 45001:2018 standard (previously OHSAS 18001). We are preparing certification of the sites in Jandira (Brazil) and Jincheon (South Korea) in line with the new ISO 45001:2018 standard.

In 2019, the regional focus of WACKER’s sustainability management activities will be on Europe, and on Southeast Asia in 2020, where we will examine environmental, health and safety aspects at individual sites.
