Certifications

We are committed to reducing and mitigating our impact on the environment, both in our actions as a business and in the materials we use to produce food safe packaging. This is shown in the breadth of our certifications.

Our ISO: 14001 certification demonstrates that we drive environmental responsibility into our daily practices. From recycling 100% of our board waste, to implementing multiple on-site recycling options, we constantly monitor and improve our environmental performance.

We look to source as locally as possible to reduce our carbon footprint and participate in environmental schemes to protect our local wildlife.

ISO 45001 is the world’s international standard for occupational health and safety, issued to protect employees and visitors from work-related accidents and diseases. ISO 45001 certification was developed to mitigate factors that can cause employees and businesses irreparable harm.

Its standards are the result of great effort by a committee of health and safety management experts who looked at a number of other approaches to system management – including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. ISO 45001 was designed to take existing occupational health and safety standards, such as OHSAS 18001, into account – as well as the ILO’s labour standards, conventions and safety guidelines.

This forms the basis of our health and safety focused culture, demonstrated through reporting of heath and safety concerns and regular hazard awareness training. It also includes ethical standards around supplier code of conduct which gives our customers confidence in our products and processes.

The BRCGS Packaging Materials Standard provides a robust framework for all types of packaging manufacturer to assist them in the production of safe packaging materials and to manage product quality to meet customers’ requirements, while maintaining legal compliance.

Certification against the Standard is recognised by many brand owners, retailers, food service companies and manufacturers around the world when assessing the capabilities of their suppliers. In response to demand, the Standard has been translated into many languages to facilitate implementation by packaging materials companies across the world.

The Forest Stewardship Council^® (FSC^®) is an international non-profit, multi-stakeholder organisation established in 1993 to promote responsible management of the world’s forests.

FSC^® runs a global forest certification standard with two key components, Forest Management and Chain of Custody. We source and utilise FSC^® materials to manufacture our FSC^® certified packaging and sell the finished goods with a chain of custody. This demonstrates that sourcing, manufacturing, and sale is completed in accordance with the FSC^® certification.

Our FSC^® license code is CO41147.

The British Sandwich & Food to Go Association represents those businesses where sandwiches form a core part of the food to go offer.

We set technical standards, encourage innovation and excellence while providing a collective voice for all involved in the making, distribution and retailing of sandwiches, sushi, salads, baked goods and the full spectrum of food to go.

The FPA is the representative voice of the industry, promoting the responsible manufacturing, sourcing, distribution, usage and disposal of food and foodservice packaging.

The FPA engages with all four UK governments representing the industry with key departments and committees including Defra, HM Treasury and BEIS. The FPA collaborates with other trade associations with a strong packaging remit such as INCPEN, UK Hospitality, the British Takeaway Campaign, Pack2Go Europe, Confederation of Paper Industries, British Plastics Federation and the Packaging Federation.
