Madrid, 2nd July 2020. Lantania has obtained the ISO 45001: 2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management certification granted by Aenor. This certificate accredits companies that have an Occupational Health and Safety Management System that helps prevent occupational risks and is committed to continuous improvement.
