ISO 14001 – Environmental management

It is becoming increasingly important to demonstrate that organisations are thinking about their environmental impact and putting systems in place that will not only benefit the environment but will also reduce costs and improve efficiency within the organisation.

Having a well-defined ISO 14001 certified energy management system (EMS) provides us with an organised approach to achieving this compliance.

There are numerous benefits of showing compliance with ISO 14001:

  • Cost savings in waste, recycling, and consumption
  • Environmental risk management
  • Compliance with individual countries’ environmental regulations
  • Demonstrates commitment to improving the environment
  • Shows you are a responsible, forward-looking organisation
  • Can increase employee engagement by letting them know that they are working in an environmentally-friendly organisation

Ensuring product integrity with Sedex, EcoVadis, and BRC

When it comes to ensuring product integrity, we believe that third-party validation is essential. We use portals like Sedex and EcoVadis to share information with our customers about our business ethics, social standards, health & safety measures, and what we are doing to have a positive impact on society and the environment through the reduction of our carbon footprint and the minimisation of plastic waste.

The BRC Global Standard for Packaging

The BRC Packaging Certification was designed by the British Retail Consortium and the Institute of Packaging to provide a technical standard for manufacturers of packaging materials for all types of products, on any level.

Since its launch in 2001, the standard has gained the approval of many major retailers and packaging businesses across the world.
