Engineering, Management & Sustainability

ESA engineering operates using an ISO 9001: 2015 certified quality management system, issued by TUV Italy.

This ensures that ESA engineering work complies with the international quality system standards.

This QMS certification covers all ESA services: design, construction supervision and testing of civil works and MEP systems, acoustic design, fire safety design and all other technical advice that ESA professionals can provide.

For  ESA Customers it means that we are focused on satisfying customer requests, using a standardized, reliable and robust engineering process that promotes positive and quality results. It also means that ESA engineering is required to demonstrate continuous and unceasing improvement.

ESA is one of the first Italian companies to have received the Uni PdR 125: 2022 gender equality certification.

This involves a specific assessment based on six parameters (KPI): culture and strategy, governance, HR processes, opportunities for the growth and inclusion of women in the company, gender pay equity, protection of parenthood and work-life balance.

This confirms ESA’s commitment to base its activities on supporting the values of diversity and inclusion.

With this intent, ESA is also among the first organizations to sign the “Charter for Equal Opportunities and Equality in the Workplace – Italian Diversity Charter“.

ESA engineering has obtained the certification linked to the Health and Safety Management System in compliance with the UNI EN ISO 45001:2018 standard, issued by TUV Italy.

The goal is to analyse, manage, monitor and constantly improve safety while preserving the health of internal and external personnel.

ISO 45001 certification provides a solid framework for managing OSH risks and opportunities, and certifies a safe and healthy workplace and protects personnel from physical and mental health.

Ecovadis is an international platform that evaluates corporate social responsibility.

As a member of OlCE, ESA engineering complies with the current rules of professional behavior and with the statutory and particular ones expressed by the Association and the Code of Ethics, providing the contribution of ideas, energies and skills.

The European Federation of Engineering Consultancy Associations (EFCA) is the federation to represent the engineering consultancy industry in Europe. Founded in 1992, EFCA has member associations in 28 European countries representing over 10,000 companies and more than one million staff in engineering and related services.

EFCA’s mission is to promote the European engineering consultancy industry on a European level and to represent it to the European institutions. As experts in our field, we work to influence EU legislation on matters that affect our industry, helping us to achieve common European goals such as the promotion of fair competition and transparent procurement rules.

ESA engineering has been a member since 2017 of U.S.Green Building Council ( USGBC ).

The goal of this organization is to transform the way buildings and communities are designed,  built, and managed.

The U.S. Green Building Council is committed to a sustainable, prosperous future through LEED, the leading program for green buildings and communities worldwide.

Thanks to its activities, it intends to promote and accelerate the spread of a sustainable building culture, guiding the transformation of the market, and raise awareness of public opinion and institutions on the impact that the design and construction of buildings have on the quality of citizens’ life.

Green Building Council Italia (GBC Italia) is a non-profit association that brings together the most competitive companies and the most qualified Italian professional associations and communities operating in the sustainable construction sector.

GBC Italia is part of the World GBC, a network of national GBCs present in more than 70 countries, representing the largest international organization in the world active in the sustainable construction market.

GRESB provides validated ESG performance data and peer benchmarks for investors and managers to improve business intelligence, industry engagement and decision-making.
