Gopak Awarded Environmental Management System Certification
Online, October 6, 2009 (Newswire.com) - The standard for Environmental Management has been achieved through the company's dedication to eco-friendly manufacture and distribution of its market leading lightweight furniture.
The company's was first assessed in February 2009 by the national standards body BSI, and was recognised as meeting the requirements of the standard by May 2009. In the first six months it has reduced waste previously destined for landfill by five tonnes through a meticulous recycling strategy. It has also cut carbon emissions significantly through a new energy management system, which includes intelligent technology that turns off heating if a door's left open.
The company has always ensured all levels of the business have a minimal impact on the environment. The Environmental Management System certification is physical evidence of this commitment. For clients, it offers peace of mind that specifying Gopak products will have no effect on their green credentials. It also means local authorities, that require certification as standard, can see instantly that Gopak's range of solutions adhere to the highest standards.
ISO 14001:2004 is a benchmark that shows Gopak's willingness to go further than simply complying with environmental legislation. With every aspect of the business assessed, the company can continue to push the boundaries in the environmental conscious design, manufacture and supply of its folding and stacking furniture solutions, including chairs, tables and staging.
