Composite Integration is proud to announce that we have achieved ISO 14001 accreditation, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and management excellence. This achievement underscores our dedication to implementing robust environmental management systems that comply with international standards and demonstrate our leadership in sustainable practices within the composites industry.
ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised standard that outlines the criteria for an environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that organisations can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. As part of the ISO 14000 family of standards on environmental management, ISO 14001 is a voluntary standard that organisations can certify to. Integrating it into our business processes helps us manage our environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.
Achieving ISO 14001 accreditation is not just about meeting a set of external standards; it's about integrating responsible environmental practices into the very fabric of our operations. For Composite Integration, this means:
The journey towards ISO 14001 accreditation has been a rigorous but rewarding process. At Composite Integration, we started by assessing our existing procedures and environmental impacts, involving every level of our organisation. From there, we developed new policies and processes that better manage these impacts and align with the ISO 14001 standards.
A critical area we focused on was our CIJECT equipment range, ensuring that these systems are not only efficient but also minimise environmental impact during their lifecycle. This included optimising energy use and reducing waste materials in our manufacturing processes. Additionally, we involved our staff extensively in training programmes to heighten awareness and competence in environmental management.
"I'm incredibly proud of our team's dedication and hard work in achieving this new certification. It's a testament to their talent, perseverance, and teamwork. This milestone reflects not just a goal reached, but the passion and commitment that drive our success every day."
Jasmine Pearse, Quality & Environmental Manager, Composite Integration
Achieving ISO 14001 is more than just an endpoint—it’s a continuous commitment to environmental improvement. Composite Integration will continue to innovate and lead in manufacturing processes that respect and enhance our environment. We are excited about the future and the role we will play in promoting sustainable practices across our industry and beyond.
We understand that our responsibility doesn't end with us. By integrating ISO 14001 standards into our business, we aim to influence our partners and suppliers, encouraging a chain reaction of environmental responsibility throughout the composites industry.
We thank our dedicated team for their hard work and commitment to achieving this accreditation and our clients and partners for their ongoing support. Together, we are making a significant impact on the industry and the planet.
