Mapei UK Plant Achieves ISO 14001
Mapei is delighted to announce that its UK manufacturing site has recently been certified to ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. Globally committed to Corporate Social Responsibility, Mapei UK Ltd is the 9th manufacturing plant of the Mapei Group Europe to achieve the accolade. Meeting this standard complements the achievement of ISO 9001 certification in 2010.
Since 2009 a strong emphasis has been placed on the commitment to reduce waste to landfill and improving recycling and energy efficiency. Mapei UK won The Tile Association Award in 2010 for Best Initiative to Reduce Environmental Impact and was also shortlisted into the final five for the 2010 EEF Future Manufacturers Awards in the Environmental Efficiency Category.
Peter Dube, Quality Manager at Mapei UK Ltd, said of the achievement: “Mapei UK has worked hard to ensure that Environmental Management practices are in place throughout the business and will continually seek for opportunities to improve. Working to the requirements of ISO 14001 is a sign to show our dedication and commitment to the global cause of conserving our environment for future generations. It can be a sad thing to deprive future generations of the current benefits we enjoy from our environment, land, air and water bodies by being irresponsible in the use and management of natural resources we get from them.”
Peter is pictured with Colin Fradgeley, Finance Director and Eamon Leniham, Health, Safety and Environmental Manager, with the award.
Mark Louch, Managing Director, added: “The achievement of ISO 14001 is a result of the dedication undertaken by all at Mapei UK with the continuous support of the Mapei Group. Working to ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 standards has maximised the efficiency of how we work, which not only includes sustainable practices, also commitment to Human Resource to ensure our teams receive the training and support required to provide the best possible service to our customers.”
The Mapei Group invests 5% of annual turnover into research and development of which 70% is dedicated to the progression of sustainable products.
