[ Certificate ISO 14001 ]

A long time ago Aran World started to work towards the implementation of an environmental management system based on the international ISO 14001 regulation, reflecting its long-established belief in the need to protect the environment. In fact, the ISO 14001 regulation is the means to manage all activities which have an impact on the environment. Following the ISO 14001 regulation rules, Aran World assures a constant improvement on the environmental protection, handling natural resources, waste materials, atmospheric emissions and in particular energy resources. The ISO 14001 is certified by Quality Austria.

[ Renewable energies ]

Aran World is more and more committed to respect and to preserve the environment with the project of covering most of its production area with photovoltaic panels that produce green energy, with the purpose to be all-sufficient from an energy point of view. We built four power plants that produce electric energy from photovoltaic conversion for a total maximum output power of 2,17 MW. The photovoltaic conversion consists in the direct transformation of solar energy (radiant energy) to electric energy through devices in a solid state (photovoltaic cells) based upon semiconductor materials (photovoltaic effect).
