Inland and Coastal Marina Systems has achieved ISO 14001 certification for the company’s Environmental Management Systems (EMS) in just under a year.
The ISO 14001 standard provides a framework for organisations to design and implement an effective EMS and continually improve their environmental performance, taking proactive measures to minimise their environmental impact, comply with legal requirements and achieve their environmental objectives.
"Securing ISO 14001 certification is a fantastic achievement that enhances our reputation as a responsible and forward-thinking company,” said Ollie Shortall, Managing Director at Inland and Coastal headquarters in Ireland . “This certification not only provides peace of mind to our clients but also demonstrates our commitment to upholding the highest environmental standards.”
Inland and Coastal has now successfully implemented a wealth of practices to improve its environmental impact. These include a more efficient method of segregating waste, greater awareness of hazardous substances and associated risks, and innovative methods for reducing and reusing the water system in its production facility.
Floriane Catillon, Sustainability Manager at Inland and Coastal, commented, “The ISO 14001 didn’t require us to make tremendous changes as many of our current practices already align with international standards… The biggest challenge, and one which remains an ongoing journey, is engaging people and encouraging their commitment to the sustainability cause and certification.”
The company has also created a biodiversity-friendly garden space encouraging pollinator species to flourish in accordance with the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan (AIPP) and recently installed Photovoltaic solar panels and EV charging points at the site.
