An Environmental Management System (EMS) can be used in any kind of organisation to enhance its environmental performance regardless of its size, sector, legal form, geographical location, or the product or service that it provides. It can often be daunting for SMEs in particular to know where to begin.
There is, however, an EMS that has been specifically tailored to meet the needs of SMEs and offers one to one support and a phased approach to certification at the level that suits your business.
The flexibility and affordability of Scotland’s only UKAS accredited BS8555 Green Ticks Scheme offers the best option for demonstrating your company´s contribution to the protection of the environment.
Bright Green Business has been working with SMEs across Scotland for over 20 years helping them reap the many benefits that can arise from implementing an EMS, including: improving your reputation, complying with legal requirements, reducing your costs, improving process efficiency, boosting your competitiveness and saving you money!!!
Marshalls Garden Machinery has been maximising the benefits afforded by their Phase 2 BS8555:2016 certification for over two years.
“We take our environmental impact very seriously, running the latest Eco-friendly buses, using harvested rainwater to wash our fleet amongst many other initiatives. The Green Ticks certification gives us tangible evidence of this to show to clients and local authorities and gives us future goals to aim for to gain further ticks.”
Ross Prentice, Prentice Coaches
“We were looking for a scheme to prove our environmental credentials and found that the Green Ticks scheme fitted the bill.
The team at Bright Green Business were very helpful in guiding us through the paperwork and advising us on the points which required to be upgraded.”
James Marshall, Marshalls Garden Machinery
