ISO14001 international environmental standard met for 5th year

Claims Consortium Group has been certified to ISO14001, the international environmental management standard for the fifth year running.

We first achieved ISO14001 in 2010, and have since demonstrated a continual improvement in how we manage our environmental impact.

We have focused on our paper usage which, with staff growing to more than 200, should be increasing. However we’ve managed a reduction in paper purchases and usage, and we are recycling more waste paper to boot.

We’ve saved significant amounts of electricity by adding more power and water-efficient boilers in our kitchens, installing lighting which comes on using motion sensors in less-used offices, corridors and toilets, and relocating out-of-hours staff to smaller offices where the heat and light demand is lower. This has also provided us with a financial saving.

In the coming 12 months we will focus on ways in which we can continue to reduce our carbon footprint as a business.
