On 25 February Bjørn K. Haugland, Chief Operating Officer in DNV, handed over the environmental certificate ISO 14001 to Boeing Vice President Mary Armstrong and Boeing Compliance and Services Director Aileen Yankowski. The event marked a milestone for Boeing as it established that the company has reached one of its major environmental goals; getting all of its major manufacturing sites ISO 14001 certified by the end of 2008.
