It is CUBIC's wish to be regarded as a recognised production company and business partner - also within Environmental management and Occupational health & safety management.

To support this, CUBIC’s management system has been certified according to DS/EN ISO 14001 and DS/OHSAS 18001.
This implies among other things that the environmental and occupational health and safety aspects are considered on equal terms with technical and financial aspects regarding new processes, improvement of existing products and the development of new products. Likewise, the certifications imply that CUBIC’s management system is currently evaluated regarding suitability, sufficiency and efficiency.
An increased focus on the environment is also expressed in the EU directives concerning RoHS and REACH.
RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances) concerns a limited use of materials in electrical and electronic equipment. The CUBIC products have since 01 July 2006 followed the rules and regulations of the RoHS directive.
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances) deals with the fact that chemicals must be registered regarding safety for humans and for the environment and that some of the most hazardous chemicals must be replaced by less problematic chemicals, if possible. CUBIC's products comply with the REACH directive.
