Broadweigh has achieved ISO 14001 certification, the internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems.
While securing ISO 14001 is a significant milestone for the business, the certification represents the formal recognition of environmental principles and practices that have been embedded within Broadweigh’s operations for many years. The assessment confirmed that the company was already operating largely in line with the standard, with certification serving to document, verify and future-proof those practices rather than drive fundamental change.
ISO 14001 provides a globally recognised framework for managing environmental responsibility, requiring organisations to demonstrate clear processes around environmental impact, compliance, risk management and continual improvement. Achieving certification confirms that these principles are not only understood, but consistently applied across the organisation.
The accreditation builds on Broadweigh’s wider commitment to responsible and sustainable operation, providing customers, partners and distributors with confidence that environmental considerations are embedded at an organisational level rather than treated as a standalone initiative.
For international distributors, ISO 14001 certification offers reassurance that products, systems and support are developed within a structured environmental management framework aligned with global procurement expectations. For procurement-led buyers, particularly those operating across multiple venues or territories, the certification simplifies due diligence and reduces risk, providing independent verification that environmental responsibility is formally managed and continually reviewed.
Matthew Youngs, Sales and Marketing Manager at Broadweigh, commented: “Achieving ISO 14001 feels like a natural step for Broadweigh rather than a change in direction. The audit process largely confirmed that the way we already operate, from design and manufacture through to logistics and support, reflects the principles of the standard. What ISO 14001 gives us is formal recognition of that approach, and a clear, internationally understood framework that supports our customers and partners worldwide.”
Elliot Van Laere, Product Specialist at Broadweigh, added: “From a customer perspective, ISO 14001 matters because it shows we’re consistent and accountable. It shows that environmental responsibility isn’t dependent on individuals or informal processes, but is embedded in how the business operates. For customers working across different regions or regulatory environments, that consistency removes uncertainty and reduces risk.”
Youngs concluded: “Broadweigh sees ISO 14001 not as a finish line, but as a foundation for continued improvement, international collaboration and long-term customer confidence.”
