Landmark British Standards Institute certification
Landmark British Standards Institute certification
Bosch Thermotechnology Ltd, owners of the Worcester and Buderus brands, and industry leader in heating and hot water products, has been awarded best practice certification for energy management by the British Standards Institution (BSI).
The manufacturer is at the forefront of leading energy efficient heating technologies in both the domestic and commercial sectors, and this certification demonstrates how it is also applying these processes within its business to achieve energy reductions of 9.6% over the two year period leading up to the end of 2010.
The announcement comes as the organisation is confirmed as the first in the UK, to achieve ISO 50001 certification.
ISO 50001
ISO 50001 is a worldwide standard which represents the latest international best practice in energy management.
The standard has been in development for a number of years with energy management experts, representing over 60 countries from across the world, coming together to establish the framework for the systematic management of energy.
The certification has been awarded following Bosch Thermotechnology’s continued improvement in meeting energy performance targets and is a mark of its dedicated commitment to sustainability.
Having implemented a successful energy management system, Bosch Thermotechnology has reaped a number of benefits including reductions in carbon emissions and energy costs, both now and in the future, as well as improved business performance.
“The certification recognises our continued efforts to manage our energy efficiency”
Richard Soper, Managing Director of Bosch Thermotechnology Ltd (pictured above) commented: “We are delighted to receive the BS ISO 50001 certification, particularly as the first organisation in the UK, and one of only a handful of companies in the world to do so.
“The certification recognises our continued efforts to manage our energy efficiency as part of a wider corporate strategy to maintain our position as a market leader in the heating and hot water industry.
“This achievement is testament to our employees within the organisation, who work extremely hard to continually improve our standards of energy management.”
BSI’s Global Portfolio Manager for Sustainability, Mark Fraser added, “in a time of greenwashing it is encouraging to see this commitment from a leading organisation like Bosch Thermotechnology to delivering sustained reductions in its energy intensity.”
