HCR are very proud to have been granted their ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard certification by Lloyds Register last week, after 9 months of preparation work.
Led by Special Projects Manager, George Dawes, the Environment Project Team reviewed every aspect of our processes and delivery mechanisms in order to seek reductions in our waste and the impact on our environment.
The Business Development Director, Adrian Leach, commented, “achieving this standard was important not only to demonstrate our commitment to minimising our impact on the environment, but also to deliver tangible savings”. “George and the team can already point to savings in fuel and energy, decreased paper usage and increase recycling of consumables. They have set realistic targets and systems for continuous improvement based on processes that meet the standard.”
ISO 14001 is the internationally recognised standard for the environmental management of businesses. It prescribes controls for those activities that have an effect on the environment. These include the use of natural resources, handling and treatment of waste and energy consumption.
HCR do not know of any other relocation specialist and rental accommodation provider who has achieved the prescribed standard. They are now working on a sustainable relocation project that will work in conjunction with many of their clients’ own environmental policies.
