Worcestershire based hazardous Waste Management Company, Chloros, has achieved certification to the internationally recognised ISO 9001 & 14001 standard, establishing it as one of the leaders in its field.

This independent assessment was conducted by the British Assessment Bureau, a leading Certification Body, and demonstrates Chloros Environmental’s commitment to customer service and quality in delivery & their environmental impact>

Chloros Environmental has now earned the right to display the coveted British Assessment Bureau quality shield and ISO 9001 & 14001 logo to demonstrate its conformance to the standard.

ISO 9001 was first introduced in 1987 and requires organisations to demonstrate that they do what they say they do, and that they have a Quality Management System in place to ensure consistency and improvement; leading to high levels of performance and customer satisfaction. Certified organisations are committed to continuous improvement and are assessed to ensure progress is being maintained.

ISO 14001 was first introduced in 1996 as a British Standard and requires organisations to have an environmental policy and action plan in place to manage their impact on the environment. Certified organisations are committed to continuous improvement and are assessed annually to ensure progress is being maintained.
