Carnival´s Brands Earn Eviromental Management Certifications

The operating companies of Carnival Corporation & plc have successfully completed implementation and certification of their respective environmental management systems to the ISO 14001 standard.

Certifications have been issued to the company´s operating units by four different internationally recognized maritime regulatory agencies in recognition of Carnival´s commitment to systematic management of its processes, products and services to minimize environmental impact.

The international certification agencies included RINA from Italy, Germanischer Lloyd from Germany, Lloyd´s Register Quality Assurance from North America and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in the UK.

The certificates attest that each operating unit´s Environmental Management System (EMS) for Operation and Management of Cruise Ships meets the ISO 14001 standard established by the Geneva-based International Organization for Standardization, an internationally recognized standards organization that promotes the development and implementation of international standards, including those for environmental management issues.

ISO 14001 presents a structured approach to establishing environmental objectives and targets and provides a framework for organizations to apply these tools to enhance their processes.
