Richard Edward is ISO14001 certified

Richard Edward is proud to announce we are now certified to ISO14001 quality standards


Impact to the environment from business activities continues to be an issue.
As a UK manufacturer, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and meeting out clients needs when it comes to the environment.

Richard Edward is now accredited to ISO14001 standards. This is a great addition along with our other environmental certificates including ISO9001, FSC, Carbon Smart, Greenmark and the Investors in People certificate.

ISO14001 accreditation is designed to address the balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact. With commitment from our entire organisation we are able to achieve both these objectives.

ISO14001:
  • Implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system
  • Ensure and demonstrate conformance with Richard Edward stated environmental policy and with environmental laws and regulations
  •  Seek certification of its environmental management system by an external third party organization
Tolu Akinyede, Project Manager at Richard Edward said, “Our certification to ISO 14001 tangibly demonstrates our commitment to minimising our environmental impacts and facilitate continuous improvement. It also enables us to satisfy the sustainability requirements of our clients.”

Richard Edward are extremely proud to announce that we have won Cisco and Management Today's Business Heroes Award 2011 in the True Grit category.

http://www.business-heroes.managementtoday.co.uk/index.aspx

‘True Grit’ was about demonstrating resilience at all times but particularly during a downturn.

Richard Edward was recognized, particularly for the organisations robust response to a series of challenges and unplanned events between 2002-2011.

It’s amazing to be recognised for the hard work and effort that continues to be invested in Richard Edward by everyone in the company. This ensures that our resilience, flexibility and adaptive structure is able to respond to the ever-changing business climate.


Louisa Moger, Marketing Director said; “Continued uncertainty in the economy means that trading conditions are very tough at the moment and we have learned to learn from experiences as to how to respond to the challenges and unplanned events to ensure that we strengthen the business year on year. Decision making with little visibility is difficult and requires careful consideration to ensure successful outcomes for the future.”

David Critchley, Cisco UKI director of Small and Medium Enterprise, said: “The winners of the Business Heroes Awards are testament to the fact the UK is full of thriving and innovative SMEs of all shapes and sizes. From technology to sustainability, international expansion to successful start-ups, the quality of this year’s entries has been outstanding and it’s great to see these businesses not only rise to their own individual challenges but thrive in the wider context of a truly testing marketplace. We want to extend our congratulations to them all!”
