Environment, Health & Safety Report
As Malaysia’s largest manufacturer of automobiles, PROTON

as well as other rules and regulations as part of our corporate
responsibility.

PROTON’s Environmental, Health and Safety Policy together with Quality Policy ensures that
the Group is conscientious about its operations impact on the surroundings and protecting
the health and safety of PROTON’s greatest assets, its people, and the community at
large.
ISO14001 Environment Management System
Reducing the carbon footprint as part of PROTON’s environmental initiatives continued to
be a core focus for the Group. In 2007, we had embarked on an ambitious journey in order
to achieve international standards in managing our environment. During the year under
review, PROTON passed the pre-assessment audit on ISO14001 Environmental Management
System carried out jointly by Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) and SIRIM Malaysia, and
accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
Considered a means to building greater trust in the marketplace, this internationally
recognised evaluation gives the assurance that PROTON is systematically managing the
environment by benchmarking itself against international standards. Strong customer
confidence in PROTON’s products and services is a must; as such we take pride in these
certifications as they do create a favourable impression especially on export markets such
as the UK and Australia, where environmental concerns are of paramount importance.
