London, February 26th 2007 -- IKON Office Solutions (UK), the largest independent channel for document management systems and services, today announced that it has been awarded the prestigious ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Accreditation at its technical and remanufacturing facility in Coulsdon, Surrey.
ISO 14001:2004 is the current environmental management system (EMS) standard, designed to help companies achieve consistent environmental compliance together with continuous improvements in environmental performance. Companies that become ISO 14001:2004 accredited show that they have recognised the potential environmental impact of their activity and are committed to managing and reducing this impact along with meeting or exceeding legislative requirements.
“The achievement of this accreditation is a key step in our objective to incorporate sustainable business practices that add value to our customers, shareholders, employees and the communities in which we live” said Bob Jones, Environmental Manager, Europe - IKON Office Solutions. “IKON is committed to driving an auditable environmental management system through the business that allows us to reduce costs and consumption of resources whilst minimising and managing our waste stream.”
IKON’s technical and remanufacturing operation provides a cost effective and environmentally beneficial alternative to IKON’s range of brand new copiers and multi-functional devices. IKON Remanufactured products perform as efficiently as new models and carry exactly the same guarantees of image quality and reliability as brand new products. Apart from the 'green' advantages of reducing the wasteful scrapping of perfectly serviceable machines, there are financial benefits in acquiring equipment that looks as good and performs as efficiently as a new model.
