The management systems for conducting business

Snam pursued its commitment also by updating and enforcing specific topics such as occupational health and safety, environmental protection, and the quality of the services provided.

During the year, Snam corporate updated its Environmental Management System ISO 14001 in compliance with the new version of the standard (ISO 14001:2015).

Snam took all steps necessary to maintain its existing certifications, including the audits performed in-house and by external personnel. 31 auditors, also qualified for external audits also, work within Snam.

163 audits were conducted in 2017 (36 of which by an external team). The decrease in the total number of audits can be attributed to a greater optimisation between internal and external audits and to the increase in the number of integrated HSEQ audits. To check the effectiveness of the management systems adopted, 47 health, safety and environmental audits were also carried out on contractors working on the Snam sites.
