Environment management
System
Hinopak conducted its Initial Environmental Review (IER) in
the year 2001 to ascertain its capability for adopting ISO14001
standard. In a very short span of time Hinopak management adopted
ISO14001 management system and became the first automobile company
in Pakistan to get this qualification.
Hinopak in its mission to promote activities that reduce environmental
impacts and as directive from the principal Hino Motors Japan
acquired ISO 14001:1996 in 2001. In 2005, we successfully upgraded
our ISO 14001:1996 Standard to new ISO 14001:2004 Standard and
again became the first automobile company in Pakistan as well
as in Hino Group to achieve this qualification worldwide.

Regular audits are conducted to ensure that our EMS is in line
with ISO 14001:2004 international standard and is properly implemented
