We are proud to announce that Alara was awarded Green Mark Level 1 in February 2007!
Green Mark is a certification scheme designed to allow small businesses to get recognition for their environmental achievements. The award is given only to businesses that can show that they have improved their environmental performance and who continue to do so year on year.
During the Green Mark audit, Alara was assessed on
Waste Minimisation
Waste Management
Energy Use
Purchasing and Procurement
Biodiversity
Communication and Awareness
Environmental Policy
…and showed that we had made improvements in all these areas of work since the auditor’s initial visit! Look out for the Green Mark logo on our website!
After the initial Green Mark audit, businesses must be re-audited once a year to check that they are maintaining the same environmental standard. Our renewal audit was carried out in March 2008 and we passed again with flying colours!
