British Steel’s sustainable practices have been recognised by the British Standards Institution, which has renewed The company’s certification to the BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing standard following detailed auditing across our operations this month.
Simon Walker, Senior Environment Specialist, said: “This is a significant achievement and this independent verification demonstrates to our customers we’re committed to sustainable practices.”
The BES 6001 certificate covers all steel products made in Scunthorpe, Teesside and Skinningrove.
The audit was both demanding and comprehensive, said Simon, investigating a wide range of areas including material traceability and environmental management systems in the supply chain as well as supplier management systems, greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and waste management.
HE added: “Sustainable practices remain hugely important to us, our customers and stakeholders. They enable us to improve our social and environmental performance, meet regulatory requirements and meet our customers’ expectations.
“Allowing customers to demonstrate they’re sourcing products from a responsible supplier and being able to benchmark our performance is particularly important, so it’s excellent news that we’ve maintained our score as a ‘good’ rating in this year’s audit.”
