Evans Vanodine achieved accreditation by the British Standards Institution under the Environmental Management Standard ISO 14001. This standard requires that the company must commit to protection of the environment, full compliance with relevant environmental legislation and achieving improvements in its environmental performance. These initiatives include the introduction of environmental criteria in the selection of raw material ingredients and suppliers, and to improve monitoring and control of both water consumption, and effluent production. The success of the company in this respect has already been recognised by their winning the ‘Best Water Efficiency Award’ in 2005 and the ‘Best Environmental Practice Award’ in 2006. The company has committed to a strategic review of its material storage arrangements to minimise the potential for uncontrolled emissions to land or water-courses, and has already made significant improvements to the way in which packaging waste is managed. For example, by introducing more rigorous waste segregation measures the company is able to generate revenue from waste cardboard and plastic and so reduce the volume of waste consigned to landfill. Evans Vanodine has also taken advantage of an Energy Efficiency survey by the Carbon Trust and has already implemented some of its recommendations to improve efficiency further and reduce overall energy consumption. Evans Vanodine has committed to continuing to make further improvements in its environmental performance in the future. |
