Be Modern is awarded ISO14001 Accreditation

Be Modern has been awarded ISO14001 accreditation – the internationally recognised environmental management standard.

In order to become ISO14001 compliant, Be Modern had to provide evidence of an established framework and policy for operating in a way that has minimal impact on the environment as well as clear plans and achievable targets for future environmental performance.

By implementing an Environmental system Be Modern was able to closely examine its own business, improve systems and procedures and help the organisation with the following;

  • Reduce waste by increased recycling.
  • Involve and motivate all staff to raise performance and make improvements
  • Reduce the Environmental impact of our work.
  • Highlight any service or product deficiencies.
  • Give a clear signal to our customers that we are continuously looking at the way we operate and taking positive steps to improve our service and Environmental profil

In 2007, Be Modern set up a dedicated team to focus the business on greener working practices. The team role was to develop and introduce new initiatives and changes to everyday business practices that will continue to drive down waste and improve efficiency.

In 2008 Be Modern was awarded ISO14001 accreditation. This achievement reinforces Be Moderns ongoing commitment to reducing the impact business has on the environment.

Richard Appleby, Managing Director of Be Modern said:

“We were delighted to achieve ISO14001 accreditation.It took a great deal of hard work and dedication but it is all worth it. Be Modern has always had environmental responsibility at the heart of the business. The organisation is doing a fantastic job, introducing ways for us to continue to reduce the impact we have and it is our aim for environmental considerations to form a critical part of every business decision made."
