ISO 14001: Environmental Management at Advanex Europe

Sustainable Engineering with a Global Responsibility

At Advanex Europe, sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s a core part of how we operate. Our certification to ISO 14001 demonstrates a structured, proactive approach to managing our environmental impact across all areas of our business.

From energy-efficient manufacturing to responsible material sourcing, we are committed to minimising our environmental footprint while delivering high-performance engineered components to industries worldwide.

What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is the internationally recognised standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). It provides a clear framework for organisations to identify, manage, monitor, and improve their environmental performance.

This certification helps businesses:

• Reduce waste and emissions

• Comply with environmental laws and regulations

• Use resources more efficiently

• Improve their sustainability credentials

For Advanex Europe, ISO 14001 is part of a broader environmental strategy that aligns with global sustainability goals and our customers’ own ESG requirements.

Our Environmental Objectives

As an ISO 14001-certified manufacturer, we have set clear environmental goals across our UK (Southwell and Bilborough) and Czech Republic operations. These include:

• Reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions

• Minimising waste through lean manufacturing and recycling programmes

• Preventing pollution and managing hazardous substances responsibly

• Designing products with end-of-life considerations in mind

• Continually improving our processes through audits and reviews

Our environmental performance is tracked and reported regularly, both internally and through independent third-party audits.

Key Environmental Initiatives

Some of the ways we put ISO 14001 into action:

• Eco-Efficient Machinery: Investing in energy-saving equipment and automated systems that reduce material and power usage

• Waste Management: Implementing rigorous recycling and reuse protocols for metals, packaging, and industrial materials

• Supply Chain Sustainability: Working with suppliers who share our commitment to responsible sourcing and environmental compliance

• Employee Engagement: Training staff at all levels to identify environmental risks and opportunities for improvement

We also consider the full lifecycle impact of the components we produce—from raw materials to final application.

Why ISO 14001 Matters

For our customers and partners, our ISO 14001 certification provides:

• Assurance that environmental risks are effectively managed

• Confidence in regulatory compliance, especially in sensitive industries

• Alignment with corporate sustainability and ESG goals

• A greener, more responsible supply chain

• Opportunities for shared innovation in sustainable design and packaging

Recognised for Sustainability

Our environmental credentials are further supported by:

• EcoVadis Sustainability Rating – Bronze Medal
  Recognising our performance in environmental impact, ethics, and responsible procurement.

We are continuously working to improve our rating and increase transparency in our sustainability performance.

Part of an Integrated Management System

ISO 14001 is fully integrated with our other key management systems:

• ISO 9001 – Quality Management

• ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety

• ISO 13485 – Medical Devices

• AS9100 Rev D – Aerospace Quality Management

This integrated approach ensures environmental responsibility is embedded in every aspect of our operations—from product design to customer delivery.
