GUARULHOS, Brazil--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid
and powder coatings, recently received First place certification for
best performance in the Environmental Management System category among
the partner companies of the Ford Northeast Industrial Complex in
Brazil. Ford has recognized companies with its manufacturing
certification program since 2012. In addition to Axalta, 25 different
companies that operate within Ford’s Northeast Industrial Complex were
evaluated in 2016.

and Partners Companies, considers the analysis of a monthly compliance
indicator against the demands of Ford’s Environmental Management Scoring
System. Among the items scored are Environmental Initiatives Implemented
in the Area, Environmental Training and Participation in Ford’s Audits.
To establish the ranking, a number of factors were evaluated including
attendance, presence in periodic meetings, compliance with deadlines,
results of audits and presentation of environmental initiatives.

certification,” said Reginaldo Saloio, Light Vehicle OEM & APC Business
