Planet Mark: A Commitment to Sustainability
At System Hygiene, we’ve always taken pride in supplying high-quality cleaning, hygiene, and washroom solutions, but in today’s world, it’s not just about what we supply, it’s about how we operate. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we are working towards achieving the Planet Mark certification, a trusted sustainability standard that reflects our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and creating a more sustainable future.
What is Planet Mark Certification?
The Planet Mark certification is a globally recognised sustainability accreditation, awarded to organisations that actively measure, reduce, and commit to continual improvements in their environmental impact. The certification process requires businesses to record their carbon footprint and social value contributions, set measurable goals, and transparently report on progress each year.
To gain certification, companies must demonstrate a real commitment to cutting carbon emissions and embedding sustainable practices across all areas of their operations. It's an ongoing journey of accountability and positive change.
Why We’re Committing to Planet Mark
At System Hygiene, we recognise that businesses have a responsibility to play their part in tackling climate change and protecting the planet for future generations. By working towards Planet Mark certification, we’re taking concrete steps to:
-
Measure our environmental impact – looking at energy use, travel, waste, and supply chains.
-
Reduce carbon emissions – by identifying where we can operate more efficiently and sustainably.
-
Support a greener supply chain – working with manufacturers and partners who share our sustainability values.
-
Engage our team and customers – to encourage more environmentally friendly practices at every stage.
Benefits for Our Customers
Our journey towards Planet Mark certification isn’t just about improving our own operations – it’s about delivering added value for our customers:
-
Sustainable product choices – we’re expanding our range of eco-friendly cleaning products, packaging, and consumables.
