 TB Davies achieves ISO 14001 certification, reinforcing sustainability leadership

TB Davies, a leading UK supplier of work-at-height safety solutions, has achieved ISO 14001 certification, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental leadership.

The internationally recognised ISO 14001 standard validates the company's dedication to robust environmental management and highlights its proactive approach to reducing ecological impact.

Established in 1945, the family-owned business has long prioritised environmentally responsible practices, including harnessing solar energy, reducing plastic packaging, and introducing hybrid vehicles. These initiatives form part of the company’s ambitious goal of reaching Net Zero by 2050.

This certification follows TB Davies’ development of an award-winning carbon reduction plan in 2022, when it participated in the Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme’s Carbon Emission Reduction Pilot. The pilot programme supported TB Davies in creating a measurable plan to significantly reduce its carbon footprint.

David Gray, Managing Director of TB Davies, highlighted the significance of achieving ISO 14001. He said:

“Our mission has always centred around safety, and this certification extends our responsibility to ensure ethical and sustainable operations throughout our supply chain. Securing this certification underscores the exceptional commitment of our entire team to our core values of safety and environmental stewardship.”

Securing ISO 14001 certification involved a rigorous assessment and close collaboration throughout the business. TB Davies accessed essential external expertise through the Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme, which connected them with ISO specialist Brian Taylor. His guidance helped ensure the certification process succeeded on the first attempt. 

David Gray added:

“Achieving ISO 14001 is a significant achievement, yet it represents just the beginning. Our ambition is to continually set higher standards for sustainability within our industry, ensuring our growth remains environmentally responsible and beneficial for future generations.”

Mat Gray, Director of Safety, Health, Environment and Quality at TB Davies, said:

“Businesses choosing TB Davies for their work-at-height equipment can be confident they’re partnering with a company that shares their sustainability goals. Our ISO 14001 certification helps customers reduce their own environmental impact and demonstrates their commitment to responsible business practices to stakeholders.”
