To achieve accreditation companies must not merely comply with all relevant legislation but set clear continuous improvement objectives and put in place a management plan to ensure they are met.
Health and safety, quality and environmental measures go hand in hand at Hepworth, with careful control of all site emissions being central to company policy.
Says Derek Lawrence, who is responsible for ISO14001 compliance at the Plumbing Division: "We have had a long term commitment to the environment and achievement of accreditation underlines this.
Sustainability and environmental protection are critical to our industry and increasingly important within specification and purchasing decisions.
In implementing our environmental policy we not only help the wider community but also gain genuine commercial benefits.
Improvement programmes regarding waste, energy usage and re-cycling are advantageous to the financial bottom line as well as to the environment.
We are also seeing more and more key players in our market putting sustainability high on their list of purchasing priorities.
"The money we have invested in this area, and will continue to invest through our ongoing improvement programme, therefore, brings a genuine return in more ways than one.".
