ISO 14001

Hooray! We are ISO 14001 certified. We’ve met the requirements needed for this certification and will try to uphold this standard. To do this in an ecologically responsible way ISO 14001 helps us check for important factors. What it is and what we do, we’ll explain it all right now.

“ISO 14001 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified to. It maps out a framework that a company or organization can follow to set up an effective environmental management system.

Designed for any type of organization, regardless of its activity or sector, it can provide assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.”

Our objectives

Trying to make repairs more durable, simplify the repair process through improved technology, and make the products more and more environmentally friendly.

Our projects & implementations

We have a couple of ongoing projects to make ourselves a more sustainable company. For example, the tree planting project with GoForest. Here we actively contribute to making our world a greener place by planting mangroves in Madagascar and reforesting damaged woods in Belgium.  

Our new Green Paint System is made up of recycled and recyclable materials. In combination with waste management reducing the number of plastic used, it makes it more sustainable than the average competitor on the market. 

Another thing we do is replace carnauba wax with beeswax. It’s another project with a big impact on the environment. Carnauba wax is made from a palm species that only grows in exotic places. Thus they cut down rainforests to plant these trees. Our Sales Director, Dirk van Driessche, came up with a solution. He found a way to use beeswax instead, so there’s no need to use carnauba wax and we’re helping the bees by integrating them into the production process.
