The AEOC certification, granted by the Italian Customs Agency, is awarded to companies that meet a series of rigorous criteria essential for operating in international trade. These include a robust compliance with customs and tax regulations, an effective system for managing commercial and transport records, financial solvency, and appropriate practical standards of professional competence. With this certification, Rhenus can offer customers streamlined customs procedures and improved trade efficiency, reinforcing its commitment to regulatory compliance.
“We’re proud to achieve the AEOC certification in Italy,” said Simone Riccobono, Managing Director for Rhenus Air & Ocean in Italy. “This accomplishment reflects our commitment to upholding the highest standards in customs and logistics, providing reliable and efficient solutions to our customers in a dynamic international environment.”
In addition to the AEOC certification, Rhenus continues to prioritize rigorous supply chain oversight through its supplier qualification and monitoring policy, supported by its Quality Standard (ISO 9001). Rhenus has also made significant strides in sustainability. In 2023, the Air & Ocean Division across the Group successfully completed the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Verification Audit according to ISO 14064-1:2018, demonstrating its dedication to environmental responsibility. At the Group level, Rhenus has also been awarded the EcoVadis Gold Standard.
Together, these certifications support Rhenus in delivering compliant, efficient, and sustainable logistics solutions worldwide, responding to the needs of a rapidly evolving global market.
