Celebrating Quality and Environmental Re-Certification Since 1997

ISO 9001 & 14001 CertificatesFutures Supplies is delighted to have successfully gained re-certification to BS EN ISO 14001 and BS EN ISO 9001:2008 for a further 3 years until 2015 for its environmental and Quality Management systems.

To gain and maintain certification, Futures Supplies ensures legislative compliance, records information on the operation of its QMS and EMS and demonstrates continual improvement. Increased credibility comes from regular independent assessment to ensure its Environmental and Quality Management System continues to meet and exceed the requirements of the standard.

We all want to have confidence in the goods and services that we use. Trust is essential whether in the high street, the supermarket or buying as a business.

 Accreditation by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is key to ensuring that consumers, suppliers, purchasers and specifiers can have confidence in the quality of goods and in the provision of services throughout the supply chain.

UKAS accreditation means the evaluator can show to its customers that it has been successful at meeting the requirements of international accreditation standards.

This means that our customers reduce the risk of selecting an incompetent evaluator and paying for, or more seriously, acting upon invalid results. Too many of Britain’s companies run the risk of undermining their long-term success by purchasing independent evaluations that are not UKAS accredited.

Futures Supplies’ credentials are endorsed by certification to BS EN ISO 14001 and BS EN ISO 9001 through Det Norske Veritas (DNV).

Accredited by United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), DNV, established in 1864 is dedicated to the principle of safeguarding life, property and the environment.

Award winning and customer focused, we at Futures Supplies, hope our consistency of approach, endorsed by recognised accredited third parties, makes us a trustworthy, dependable and credible choice, to deliver both quality and sustainability throughout our business processes and services.

Kimberly-Clark Selects Ecolabel as its Label of Choice

EU Ecolabel LogoReducing environmental impact through its supply chain is one of Futures Supplies’ key objectives as part of its environmental commitment, endorsed by its independent certification to BS EN ISO 14001.

Futures Supplies supply partner Kimberly-Clark has recently selected the European Ecolabel as its label of choice. The criteria for measuring performance are closely aligned with their approach to sustainability. Striving to ensure our products do what you need them to do whilst considering ways to reduce the environmental impact at each stage of the product life cycle, the Ecolabel analyses the impact of the product throughout its life cycle making it a good strategical fit.

The European Ecolabel is your guarantee of responsible manufacturing from “cradle to grave”. The environmental criteria behind the Ecolabel are tough, and products are measured against more than one element. They are measured and analysed on performance against the impact of the product on the environment throughout its life cycle, starting from extraction of raw materials in the pre-production stage, through to production, distribution and disposal of the product. Only products which meet these strict environmental standards are entitled to use the Ecolabel – giving consumers a label they can genuinely trust.

To find out which products are in the Eco bundle and carry the Ecolabel Certification, visit our website now where you can also find listed some of the commonly found ‘green labels’, ‘green logos’ and ‘ecolabels’, along with further explanations and links to the organisations responsible for the claims.
