ABP CONNECT CARGOFLOW VEHICLE CENTRE
The British Standards Institute (BSI), the body responsible for creating and awarding standards of excellence in all areas of the service and manufacturing industries, has awarded ABP Connect Cargoflow Vehicle Centre, Southampton (‘Cargoflow Vehicle Centre’), its certificate of environmental excellence, ISO 14001.
Registration to ISO 14001 is only awarded if a company can demonstrate that it has in place an exemplary ‘environment management system’. A company has to show that it maintains high environmental standards, prove that it is fully compliant with relevant legislation and has increased efficiency in its use of natural resources. Cargoflow Vehicle Centre was registered to the internationally recognised environmental standard following a long preparatory and review process.
Based at Associated British Ports’ Port of Southampton, Cargoflow Vehicle Centre is the vehicle-processing services branch of ABP Connect. Registration is an illustrious accolade for a company, and serves to mark it out from its competitors. Cargoflow Vehicle Centre is now entitled to use the award as part of its marketing and promotional activities.
Stephen Burgess, Head of ABP Connect Cargo Services, was presented with the certificate at a ceremony held at the business’ central office. Speaking at the end of the ceremony, he expressed his pride in receiving the award:
“ABP Connect Cargoflow Vehicle Centre, Southampton, is very keen to demonstrate that it operates to the highest environmental standards, and registration to ISO 14001 will allow us to do just that. The team has worked extremely hard on this accreditation and I am very pleased with this excellent result.”
A spokesman for BSI said:
“We are delighted to have played a part in helping ABP Connect Cargoflow Vehicle Centre, Southampton, to enhance its competitive advantage and its reputation through registration to ISO 14001. Not only does registration demonstrate their compliance with relevant legislation, but it also serves as evidence to their stakeholders and potential stakeholders of their attainment of the highest environmental standards.”
