Ahlstrom-Munksjö Achieves ISO 50001:2011 Certification for its Rottersac and Stenay Sites in France

STOCKHOLM, October 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Rottersac and Stenay specialty papers production sites have obtained ISO 50001:2011 certification for their Energy Management System (EnMS) from SGS. Energy efficiency is a critical environmental performance indicator that helps to achieve cost optimization as well as helping to preserve resources.

Achievement of this certification is consistent with the company strategy aiming to efficiently utilize its production and service platform to develop customer-specific solutions in a sustainable manner.
