Syrian ISO 14001 pioneers anticipate growing pressure for environmental legislation in developing nations

摘要

Two Syrian manufacturing companies have pioneered ISO 14001 certification in the absence of national environmental laws, other than little-enforced "end-of-pipe" emissions regulations. However, Habi-Tex textiles and Al-Fares pharmaceuticals sought certification to add credibility to their environmental efforts in the eyes of regulators, the community and policy makers in anticipation of tough new environmental legislation in developing countries like Syria.
