Temporary building specialist Spaciotempo has secured ISO 14001 accreditation, becoming one of the few in its sector to do so.
ISO14001 is the international environmental management system standard and is the world’s second-most popular international standard on quality management after ISO 900.
The voluntary management standard provides businesses with the framework to continually assess and improve environmental practices, including the reduction of waste material, greater energy efficiency, and the use of sustainable resources.
Spaciotemo’s accreditation comes at a time when the UK buildings industry is under pressure to reduce construction waste by 70%, to meet terms dictated by the government’s Construction 2025 strategy.
Scott Jameson, managing director at Spaciotempo, said that by the very nature of temporary buildings, they are a more environmentally friendly alternative to businesses than permanent builds, and can reduce carbon footprints for warehouse extensions, new builds, and refurbishments.
Speaking about the accreditation, he said: “We’ve been working towards ISO 14001 for a while, and applied for the standard after customer feedback intimated that this would provide reassurance of our environmental commitment.
“When it comes to building projects, more and more people are looking for sustainable solutions and, as a provider of building space, it is important that Spaciotempo continues to deliver temporary structures with low environmental impact,” he added.
