Birmingham-headquartered Palletline has impressed auditors with a star performance to secure the prestigious ISO 50001 accreditation for energy management.
The process, conducted by the British Assessment Bureau, involved rigorous audits of Palletline’s entire operation, from its hub and office processes to day-and-night operations across the network.
The outcome was reported to be exceptional, with no non-conformities identified, despite the size and complexity of the operation.
As the first UK pallet network to achieve ISO 50001 in 2018, this latest award of the accreditation marks Palletline’s continuous improvement in energy efficiency, cost reduction, and sustainability.
It adds to its lineup of ISO certifications, including 9001,14001, and 45001, highlighting the network’s dedication to best practice across quality, environment, health and safety, and energy efficiency.
Palletline’s ISO 45001 certification marks its 16th consecutive year. Meanwhile, the ISO 9001 and 14001 have now been held for six years running, underscorong its commitment to high standards in quality and environmental management.
Ken Bell (pictured), Palletline HSEQ manager since 2006, has been instrumental in leading the initiatives that have earned these accolades.
Palletline praised his leadership in quality and safety management, which the network said also contributed to Palletline’s consistent success in the RoSPA Gold Awards, which the company has now won for 11 consecutive years.
Bell said: “This audit was a true team effort. We’ve not only retained our ISO accreditations, but we’ve also been recognised for the quality of our operations and the dedication of our people. This is a proud moment for everyone at Palletline.”
