Icon’s eco-efficiencies recognised by Carbon Trust
Event branding and production specialist Icon has been certified as being fully compliant to the Carbon Trust Standard. The company has also achieved the Carbon Neutral Standard, which means that is has a net zero carbon footprint.
Icon, which was recently acquired by Chime Communications, is benefitting from the Group’s established CSR programme which has enabled Icon to swiftly implement a number of procedures and systems to bring about these certifications.
Andrew Hodson, Icon sales and marketing director, said: “With the embracing of these recognised standards our clients can be confident in the knowledge that the service we provide them is coming from an environmentally responsible and conscious company. We are confident that this latest certification will bring tangible business benefits and help us to win new business. Eco-efficiencies make both commercial and ethical sense, and can have a positive impact on both staff and clients.”
Icon, which is already ISO 14001 accredited, will be adopting Chime’s reporting systems for monitoring its energy usages and business travel mileage. These figures will contribute to the Group’s continued drive to reduce its impact on the environment and aid in identifying efficiencies and savings within their operations.
