Management system in conducting business

Snam’s commitment also involves expanding and maintaining the management systems that oversee several specific areas such as workplace health and safety, the environment and the quality of services delivered.

During the year Snam Rete Gas obtained ISO 9001 Certification for the entire Company, bringing the project launched in 2014 to a conclusion. The new management system included the four previous certifications relating to specific processes (Gas processing systems, Infrastructure programming units, Metering units, Dispatching centre).

In order to maintain the certifications already in place, Snam implemented all necessary activities, including checks by both internal and external parties. 28 auditors, also able to carry out external audits, work at Snam.

212 audits were conducted in 2016 (46 of which involved an external team). In order to check the effectiveness of the management systems adopted, 81 health, safety and environment audits were also carried out on contractors working on Snam sites.
