Managed Technology achieves its second ISO accreditation, ISO 14001 Environmental Management.
ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems (EMS) and is used by over 14,000 organisations in the UK. It is a voluntary standard that provides a framework for companies to follow to achieve organisational goals. There are many benefits:
This accreditation sits alongside the ISO 9001 accreditation and gives existing and prospective customers the confidence and assurance that Managed Technology is working ethically and in compliance.
Managed Technology is a carbon-neutral Toshiba partner, working together with customers to provide Managed Print solutions that eliminate CO2 emissions through offsetting schemes across the globe. The projects include:
This project supplies energy-saving cooking stoves to villages in Kenya, which result in a reduction in the usage of firewood by up to 50%. The stoves, therefore, yield a saving in timber use, carbon emissions, smoke, time and cost, improving the lives of the host communities.
By replenishing lost or destroyed mangrove forests along the Mombasa Estuary this project helps to re-develop valuable eco-systems both on and off-shore. As well as mitigating considerable levels of CO2, the forests provide a valuable source of income to locals.
By renovating and repairing boreholes in remote villages across Uganda, this project helps to restore a safe clean source of drinking water for families. As well as the natural health benefits, not having to boil the water, reduces the amount of firewood consumed and creates a carbon reduction.
Actively protecting over 71,714 hectares of Amazon Rainforest through educating locals and patrols, the Brazilian Forestry project enables the rainforest to continue to act like a sponge absorbing CO2 and protecting wildlife.
