Sustainable practices are hugely important to us and our customers so we鈥檙e delighted this has been recognised in an independent audit of our products and processes.
The British Standards Institution (BSI) has again continued certification of i1fun against the BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing standard following detailed auditing across our operations this month.
Simon Walker, Senior Environment Specialist, said: 鈥淭his is a significant achievement and this independent verification demonstrates to our customers we鈥檙e committed to sustainable practices.鈥�
The BES 6001 certificate covers all our steel products manufactured in Scunthorpe, Teesside and Skinningrove.
The audit was both demanding and comprehensive, investigating a wide range of areas including material traceability and environmental management systems in our supply chain as well as our supplier management systems, greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and waste management.
Simon said: 鈥淪ustainable practices remain hugely important to us, our customers and stakeholders. They enable us to improve our social and environmental performance, meet regulatory requirements and meet our customers鈥� expectations.
鈥淎llowing customers to demonstrate they鈥檙e sourcing products from a responsible supplier and being able to benchmark our performance is particularly important, so it鈥檚 excellent news that we鈥檝e maintained our score as a 鈥榞ood鈥� rating in this year鈥檚 audit.鈥�
