Primary Water Group

Primary Water Group achieves ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) Accreditation.

Primary Water Group is delighted to announce that in October 2017, following an audit and inspection by Approachable Certification Ltd – we have been successfully accredited with the ISO 14001:2015 status for our Environmental Management System. The Group has undertaken a number of initiatives in recent years to minimise its business operations’ impact on the environment, including the introduction of the patented Multimaster plant and process system which alleviates concerns about using large volumes of fresh water to flush systems, which in turn creates large volumes of effluent. The Multimaster system uses <10% of water resources and also reduces the overall chemical requirement for the project, thereby reducing client costs and more importantly demonstrating a commitment to preserving our natural resources.

Many other processes and policies have been introduced to manage site waste, electricity and other energy resources, the recycling of paper, cardboard and plastic and the introduction of low emission company vehicles.

Commenting on the accreditation today Glyn Jones, Managing Director of The Primary Water Group said . . . “It is becoming increasingly important for companies to show they operate in an environmentally responsible manner. The inward investment we have made and hard work by all of our staff in developing and implementing our plant & processes, policies, procedures and working practices to reduce our environmental impact have been very effective and successful. We are therefore delighted to receive the ISO 14001 accreditation which demonstrates our commitment to the spirit of sustainability. We will continue to improve our environmental procedures in order to reduce our impact on the environment for generations to come.”

Site survey followed up with a comprehensive, concise and easy reference report highlighting risk areas and remedial actions required
Recording of site management structures to ensure correct maintenance hygiene programmes and record keeping can be implemented
A schematic representation of systems
Ongoing water hygiene monitoring service to assess changing water condition
