EHS management systems exist in all of our operating facilities, although they vary in some specifics. We are working to ensure that they conform to the most widely used and respected global EHS standards.

To that end, three of our facilities have had their management systems certified to the international standard (ISO 14000) for the Environment. Two of these facilities are also certified according to the leading OHSAS 18000 standard for Health & Safety.

It is our intention that all Bacardi manufacturing facilities will have EHS management systems certified according to international standards before the end of 2009. We believe this will enable us to work across our operations according to a consistent set of best practice standards, as well as providing a strong foundation for continual improvement.
