The company makes air filters, and director Graham Bentley explains, ‘In creating these products, we cause an impact on the environment. By setting up new standards through ISO 14001, we aim to reduce these environmental effects as well as reducing our own costs.’
More staff now walk or cycle to work, and the company has purchased a number of eco-friendly hybrid cars.
