Podcast: Harley Marine Services’ Deborah Franco

Helping implement Mr. Franco’s vision for the last seven years has been his sister, Deborah Franco, who is the Vice President of HSQE, HR, and Administration for Harley Marine Services.  She has been responsible for implementing ISO 9001 and 14001, ISM Code, Safety and Environmental Quality systems throughout all of the Harley Marine companies, as well as overseeing AWO Responsible Carrier Program and Occupational Health.  She ensures company safety and environmental policies and procedures are developed and maintained in accordance with all applicable state and federal codes, standards, regulations and company procedures.

We talked with Deborah recently to gain some insight on some steps and strategies that Harley Marine has taken to implement its “green” vision, how its impacted their bottom line and what the company sees for the future.
