Cameco Corporation takes its environmental responsibilities and ongoing commitment to the community seriously. Evidence of this is the Blind River uranium refinery's ISO 14001 certification.
ISO 14001 is one of the most internationally recognized standards for environmental management systems. ISO 14001 is an international standard through which a company can demonstrate its commitment to sound environmental performance in compliance, pollution prevention and continual improvement. It establishes a permanent framework to assist companies in reaching their environmental protection goals. This framework calls for annual independent audits and for re-certification every three years.
