ISO certification for Lyon’s public lighting department

The Public Lighting Department of the City of Lyon has just received the ISO 14001 certification for environmental management. The certification is based on the principle of continuous improvement in environmental performance and continuous control of the ecological impact associated with the activity of an organisation.

The public lighting logistics department was audited by the BCD agency and was awarded the certification earlier this year. “The Public Lighting Department has been engaged in sustainable development for a number of years, and we wanted to reinforce this engagement through this process of certification,” declares Antoine Bouchet, Director of Public Lighting in Lyon.

The department now aims to have all its subdivisions certified by 2013.
