In the metal products and components manufacturing industry, organizations are required not only to ensure product quality but also to effectively manage environmental impacts, occupational health and safety risks, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data.

Implementing ISO management system standards enables organizations to establish a systematic management approach, improve operational performance, and better meet the expectations of customers, business partners, and other interested parties. In addition, certification audits and periodic assessments provide an essential basis for verifying conformity, evaluating the effectiveness of the management systems, and identifying opportunities for continual improvement.

On this basis, ARES Vietnam conducted the certification audits for ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, while also carrying out the periodic assessment of the greenhouse gas inventory in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 at Pro Active Global Vietnam Co., Ltd.
