In 2022, Tennants UK earned ISO 14001:2015 certification from the British Standards Institution (BSI). This internationally recognised standard highlights our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility through more efficient resource use, waste reduction, and continual improvement across our operations.
Building on our ISO 14001:2015 accreditation and social value initiatives, Tennants UK is advancing sustainability through substrate recycling. Our 90% recycled and recyclable Enviroplate substrate, along with recycling programmes for temporary road sign materials and number plates, ensures materials stay in use to conserve resources and reduce waste.
Achieving zero waste to landfill was a proud milestone for Tennants UK. By working with approved partners, cardboard, plastics, and metal waste are recycled, while non-recyclable waste is converted into energy. Beyond this, we’re exploring renewable energy, reducing water use, and adopting sustainable transport to lessen our environmental impact without compromising service or value.
In July 2023, we upgraded the windows in our Palm Street building as part of our ongoing commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. The new, energy-efficient windows feature advanced insulation, helping us minimise heat loss and lower energy consumption while improving comfort. A small step with lasting impact!
