Rehlko Achieves ISO 14001 Environmental Certification

Rehlko’s Reggio Emilia facility has successfully completed the audit process for the UNI‑ISO 14001 environmental certification, a globally recognized standard that helps organizations systematically manage and reduce their environmental impact. The audit, conducted by BSI in two stages between January and February 2026, marks the culmination of a project launched the previous year with the creation of a dedicated internal Environment Team.

The Meaning of ISO Certification for Rehlko

The team coordinated the development of new procedures, reporting tools, and company‑wide initiatives focused on waste reduction, proper waste disposal, and—where possible—recycling. All employees were actively involved through multiple training sessions and hands‑on implementation activities. This achievement aligns with Rehlko Corporate’s broader sustainability strategy. Headquartered in Milwaukee (US) and active in power generation and energy systems management, the company published its first ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) report in May 2025, titled Powering Impact. The report outlines the group’s sustainability roadmap, including its overarching goal: a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. The Reggio Emilia plant is fully aligned with this target and will leverage the methodologies introduced through the new certification to support its progress.

Massimiliano Bonanni and Cristina Storchi say

“Achieving ISO 14001 makes our management system even more robust and prepares us for future challenges in environmental sustainability. Together with ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 50001 for energy management, this certification is a clear testament to the commitment and capabilities we offer—first and foremost to our customers,” said Massimiliano Bonanni, General Manager of Rehlko Reggio Emilia and Chief Strategy of Engines. The certification project was led by Cristina Storchi, the plant’s EHS Manager: “It was a demanding but highly rewarding experience. Our colleagues across all departments showed strong engagement, both during the multiple training sessions and in applying what they learned. Our suppliers involved in the process also made valuable contributions.”
