Using standards can help you save energy, save money and save the environment.

Sustainability has never been more important. But at the same time, people are more cynical than ever about ‘green’ marketing claims. They want to see proof of your commitment to tackling environmental and social challenges.

Implementing our standards can help you to demonstrate your credentials to customers, employees and stakeholders, and showcase your commitment to sustainable development.  

We produced the world’s first environmental management standard in 1992, and since then we’ve led the way in developing new standards such as energy management and sustainable event management.

Today we can help you deliver substantial environmental, economic and social benefits, whatever your size, sector or geographical location. We can help you identify and manage the impact of your business on the environment and community, understand relevant legislation, and most importantly use resources more efficiently by implementing powerful policies across your organisation. This not only helps the environment, it makes a real difference to your bottom line.
