Innovation and sustainability, with the
guarantee of a great manufacturer
Our
Quality and R&D Departments have made our cables to undergo continuous
internal audits and constant testing, offering the highest standards of quality
and safety, and certifying the magnificent qualities of our products.
In
order to achieve that excellence in terms of quality, a key point is the
effective management of business relationships with our suppliers. Therefore,
in Miguélez, we establish a Business
Code of Conduct where we convey our policies and values, and we ask for their
compliance.
Thus,
all our suppliers and collaborators, in addition to working according to the
regulations, they do so respecting the standards and criteria established by Miguélez, sharing our commitments to
society, to the environment and to quality, among others.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Our environmental actions are reflected in the establishment of an EMS (Environmental Management System) in accordance with ISO 14001. MIGUÉLEZ has established different organizational guidelines to guarantee the correct classification of the waste produced during the manufacturing process of an electric cable. All these wastes are delivered to authorized managers in charge of applying the different disposal or recovery operations (recycling, reuse and recovery) of the waste. Moreover, our commitment to the environment is not limited to the management of industrial waste, but also to the implementation of production systems and to products and packaging that are more respectful with the environment.
Therefore, all of Miguélez cables meet the RoHS Directive on the restriction of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic devices, thus providing effective and sustainable solutions.
MIGUÉLEZ thus ensures that the environmental impact of our products and our industrial activity is the minimum possible. You can download our Quality and Environmental Policy here.
