- Raising the awareness of all personnel involved in the process, from shop floor to managers
VECAP is an innovative and excellence-driven way of doing business, based on ISO 14001 principles. It demonstrates the commitment of the industries involved to act in the interest of society and the environment while enhancing the competitiveness of local industries. It offers all companies – small, medium or large – equal access to the industry’s expertise in environmental best practices as well as procedures driving continuous improvement and allows benchmarking for other industries to apply similar principles.

"The EOC group will certainly benefit from VECAP, which will ensure that everyone who is working with flame retardant inishing will receive the most updated information on Deca-BDE and the flame retardant compound. Moreover it will strenghten the EOC group's environmental philosophy on emission management and process improvement."Wim Duyvejonck, Product Manager, EOC GROUP
