Green is the colour

We’re shouting from the rooftops about a sustainable accreditation we’ve just achieved. It’s called Green Mark and we achieved Level 2. We've always known we are sustainable business and an active part of the circular economy, but now we have the certificate to prove it! Green Mark provides an internationally-recognised environmental certification for companies that want to assure their clients and employees that they are conducting business to recognised environmental standards. We are one of only three scrapstores nationally to have achieved this certification and the only scrapstore in London to do so.  It’s huge achievement for a small charity such as ours. 

To achieve this we submitted information about the business, answered questions and provided supporting evidence. The answers were then reviewed by an auditor and we were awarded a Green Mark Level 2. Through the process Green Mark helped us create a framework to make sure we have the correct tools to monitor and reduce our emissions going forward, as well as communicating internally and externally how we are doing this.
