Environmental Update

It is impossible to ignore the changes in the climate these days or the media coverage relating to the impact we are all having.

As a manufacturing business there are many different areas that need to be considered when we look at the impact we have on the environment. Having identified this as a key business issue, we have implemented new systems and processes within the business to help minimise our impact on the environment.

As part of this process we achieved our #ISO14001 accreditation renewal early in 2025, which confirms that we have a structured approach to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS).

The accreditation means the following:

• Environmental Performance Improvement:

The standard will ensure that we look to continually improve our environmental performance by setting clear objectives, targets, and monitoring their progress. 

• Legal Compliance:

ISO 14001 helps us meet legal and regulatory requirements related to environmental protection. 

Our certification also demonstrates our commitment towards environmental management to our staff, our suppliers and most importantly our customers.

In achieving our accreditation we are able to help our customers meet their environmental and legal obligations which vary from country to country, as well as ensure that we continue to reduce our environmental impact.

However, achieving accreditation is only the first step on a long journey. We are already making changes within the business and these include:

• Reducing paper usage
• Monitoring water and electricity usage
• Updating our fleet of vehicles to more fuel efficient or hybrid vehicles

In addition to the more straight forward steps, we are also undertaking to obtain EPD  certification for a range of our products. An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) provides a full breakdown of a product’s environmental impact throughout it’s life cycle, enabling our customers with their efforts to reduce their environmental impact.

We are also working with our suppliers to ensure that they are accredited as well and are also working to reduce their impact.

We know that our objective to reduce our environmental impact is a long journey and one that has to involve all our staff, our suppliers as well as our customers. We will be continuously evolving and looking at areas to reduce our environmental impact.
