Benefits of our Environmental Management System (EMS):

Our ISO 14001 (EMS) has brought tremendous advantages to our foam operations. By adopting this globally recognised standard, we’ve:

  • Significantly reduced our environmental impact, aligning our processes with sustainable practices that benefit both the planet and our customers
  • Generated greater efficiency in resource use and waste management ensuring that we minimise unnecessary consumption, reflecting our commitment to responsible manufacturing

Implementing an EMS allows us to achieve notable cost savings by streamlining operations and reducing waste-related expenses. Through these strategies, we strive to create a better, more sustainable future for everyone, ensuring our foam fabrication processes stand as a benchmark in responsible production practices.
