Kia’s first European plant in Zilina, Slovakia, has received ISO 14001 certification, which recognises that good environmental management systems are in place.


“When launching vehicle and component production, we focused our attention on observing all environmental regulations and norms and abiding by all laws, in both spirit and letter,” said company president In-Kyu Bae at a presentation ceremony.


Kia Motors Slovakia has 3,000 employees and produces the Ceed line and Sportage SUV.


According to Kia, many of the production and waste-management technologies in operation at Zilina are among the very best available on the market and are employed solely to minimise impact on the environment.
