July 2003 is an important month for any company for whom disposal of vehicle tyres is a natural by-product of its day-to-day operation: tyres will no longer be allowed into landfill sites
It even extends to suppliers and waste contractors, who are asked to demonstrate their own specific policies, in an effort to achieve waste minimisation from cradle to grave.
An important part of the certification process has been the training of all employees, from the boardroom to the shopfloor.
Everyone has been made aware of the objectives and targets set out in the environmental policy, in a series of training initiatives carried out over the past two years.

As Donna Singleton, the senior QMS and HSE officer at Brookhouse explains, "The successful implementation of our environmental management system and the gaining of the ISO 14001 certification have been largely due to the way that all Brookhouse employees have wholeheartedly backed the initiative.
Senior management has unstintingly provided all the necessary resources and the workforce has shown great enthusiasm for all aspects of the project.
It is also good to note that our certification follows on from the commendation for our waste management system which we received from the Lancashire Business Environment Association earlier this year".
