Environmental protection is at the core of ISOTECH’s philosophy, and we strive towards the continuous reduction of our environmental footprint. Recognising the importance of providing our customers and collaborators with verifiable means of our environmental commitment, we have undertaken the implementation of two independently certified Environmental Management Systems: ISO 14001:2015 and Green Office.

ISOTECH’s Quality, Environment, Health and Safety Policy outlines the company’s continuing commitment to strive towards sustainability in all its operations. In fact, steady improvement is noticed year after year across the board. In 2019 (last year of available complete data), ISOTECH and its staff reduced their per capita  energy consumption by 24% and their per capita water consumption by nearly 19%.  Additionally, through the separation  of recyclable waste at source, the composting of kitchen waste and the reduced use of disposable plastic items (e.g. plastic bags, single use cups and plastic straws), there has been a 33% reduction in the production of residual waste.

For 2020, we aim to reduce our paper consumption, maintain the low production of residual waste, and benchmark the water and energy consumption at our new offices.
