The ISO 14001:2015 certification is the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems. It provides a structured framework that allows organizations to identify, control, and minimize their environmental impact through audited and verifiable procedures. At Murtra Nonwovens, our TEFISA plant in Spain has renewed this certification in 2026, reaffirming our commitment to sustainability in the nonwoven fabrics sector. This is significant because our environmental management system has been reviewed by DNV, an independent certification organism.
The ISO 14001:2015 standard requires:
- Compliance with legal and environmental requirements
- Continuous improvement of environmental performance
- Transparency with all stakeholders
For our customers and partners, this means working with a nonwoven materials supplier that manages its environmental impact as both a strategic and operational priority.
MNW S.E.E.D.: The program behind the certificate
Environmental certification is part of our MNW S.E.E.D. program (Sustainable Engagement & Environmental Development), which sets high-level environmental objectives and coordinates global actions across our organization. This program includes energy management, CO₂ emissions reduction, water resource optimization, waste management, and a responsible supply chain that includes suppliers certified under the same standard.
ISO 14001:2015 provides the framework that turns these actions into tangible, auditable procedures and drives us to pursue continuous improvement integrated into our daily decision-making.
Why does it matter for your business?
If you are a nonwoven distributor, architect, builder, or industrial procurement manager, working with an ISO 14001:2015 certified partner means your supply chain can withstand sustainability audits. It’s not an added value—it’s a baseline requirement for transparency in 2026.
