Throughout our history, we have strived for innovation, greater economic advancements and sustainable solutions at The Laser Cutting Co., evolving our processes to place green practices at the forefront of what we do. We are proud to have recently become ISO 14001 certified at both The Laser Cutting Co. and our sister company, Charles Day Steels, which have met specified environmental management policies.
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 accreditation is the international standard for environmental management systems (EMS), ensuring best practices for businesses that actively reduce their carbon footprint. By implementing this framework at the core of our operations, we have actively made strides to follow the key ISO 14001 standards, including:
- Understand environmental policies
- Recognise environmental impacts and opportunities
- Management of environmental footprint
- Monitor sustainable performance
- Regular audits and reports
- Consistent staff training
Why is ISO 14001 Important?
The standards of ISO 14001 go beyond environmental concerns. They set the new narrative for how manufacturing industries handle their carbon footprint and production waste. The initiatives are dedicated to combating climate change and visibly improving decisions across the entire business journey. By becoming ISO 14001 certified, production is more streamlined while establishing stronger relationships with customers and benefiting the local community.
Our Commitment Towards Sustainability
At The Laser Cutting Co., we have consistently made commitments to attain our ISO 14001 certification, demonstrated by investing in 1,346 solar panels across our two sites as part of our clean energy initiative. Alongside this, we have funded a brand new fleet of electric forklifts which produce zero emissions and create lower maintenance, powered through our renewable energy sources.
Our expert team takes great pride in our laser cutting services, including waterjet, flame, plasma cutting and more. We place environmental awareness and pioneer for future advancements in the laser cutting industry, without compromising quality. By practising and investing in renewable solutions, we have increased efficiency, met legislation compliance, and pledged to instil confidence in all our valued customers.
