Environmental Award
Intatec has been awarded another ISO accreditation, this time ISO14001, the international quality standard for environmental management. In practical terms, this means that the company has tailored its activities products and services to create minimal environmental impact.
Commercial Director Cynthia Fisher said; “Environmental issues and safety are the two key concerns of our business, with our range of anti-scald bath and shower equipment and a range of valves that govern flow rates for water conservation. We have always taken our own environmental responsibility seriously and several years ago underwent some significant changes to the way we work to achieve Carbon Neutral status. This latest accreditation was a lot less difficult to achieve, as we’d been actively conscious of how our business impacts the environment and had taken steps to minimise any negative effects.”
“What an ISO accreditation does, in effect, is tests your working methods against pre-determined criteria, giving you the chance to alter any practices, products or procedures to comply with environmental best practice. Thinking back, the work towards achieving Carbon Neutral was a challenge for all of us, as well as being an eye opener as a company and as a group of individuals, highlighting just how wasteful we were. I like to think that now, our environmental efforts not only benefit us as a company, but also members of the community who are able to implement some of the energy and environmentally positive practices in our own homes.”
“We would encourage other companies to look at the impact they have on the environment, not only for altruistic reasons, but also because of the long term financial benefits environmental responsibility can bring.”
Intatec also has a sister company, IntaEco which supplies equipment for the installation of solar heating and ground source heating systems.
