Groveley’s drive for continuous environmental improvement under ISO 14001 has been boosted with a restructuring of how waste is stored and recycled – which follows hot on the heels of new plant and equipment with added environmental awareness and lower energy use that has reduced our carbon footprint.
The three main strands of ISO 14001 help us (a) minimise how our operations negatively affect the environment, (b) comply with regulations and (c) continually improve in the above.
Accreditation since 2011 (and just renewed this September) has improved resource efficiency, reduced waste, driven down costs and provided assurance to stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.
Our internal systems are regularly externally-audited to ensure they are kept in order and are subject to continuous improvement.
The excellent buy-in from our workforce has contributed significantly. They are:
• provided with environmental awareness training,
• engaged in our environmental improvement programme,
• involved in energy conservation initiatives that minimise energy, and
• educated to prevent pollution.
Environmental aspects are considered within all our design, manufacturing and assembly capabilities. And of course, Groveley minimises waste through reuse and recycling, sending waste to landfill as a last resort.
