The Heritage Standard

A tried and tested approach to Sustainability.
​​

The Heritage standard has been developed over a period of ten years and follows internationally recognised systems such as ISO 14001; 17001 and others.  In developing the standard, we have considered our objective and that of companies that approach us, and we are satisfied that our approach to sustainability and corporate governance meets all  the expectations of an increasingly responsible business world.

​

The Heritage Standard forms the basis of our range of sectoral certification programmes.  Each has the same common core-elements, enhanced with sectoral-specific requirements and standards as required.  This allows the same basic standard to be applied across the services sector and to be enhanced as specific requirements arise.

 

The Heritage Standard addresses the following key environmental indicators:

 

  • Purchasing and Procurement
