ISO14001 - Environmental Award for ACT

ACT Reprographics has added Environmental Award ISO14001 to its list of accreditations, which already includes ISO9001:2000 and IIP status.

Lee Saltmarsh, one of the company's three directors, said: 'We believe in adopting robust and sustainable environmental policies and procedures as our customers are increasingly requesting information and confirmation of our environmental management status during tender applications and contractual negotiations.'

Having established many internal processes in advance, the company was able to fast track with a core implementation team, which included specialist independent ISO advisor Gerald Pritchard, and drive the necessary changes and improvements through the business. The team assessed the company's activities and then implemented systems to control and reduce their affects on the environment.  These systems were put to the test and passed the strict standards required by the ISO Audit company, Bureau Veritas.

"This accreditation demonstrates to our customers and the public that we have taken responsibility for our environmental impact", say Lee. "For example waste from our process is minimised and wherever possible recycled or reused"

ISO 14001 forms part of ISO 14000, a series of voluntary standards and guideline reference documents.  The latter covers environmental management compliance and control, including tasks such as monitoring and measurement, operational control, emergency procedures, environmental records, correct waste management, communications and training.
