The environmental aspect and impact assessment is a crucial part of the ISO 14001 framework. It\u2019s the foundation for our environmental work, helping us identify key areas for development and recognize our main impacts on nature, including related risks and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Harri Puputti, Director of Quality and Compliance<\/strong> at Lindstr\u00f6m, explains: \u201cThe beauty of management system standards lies in their harmonised structure. When a company has a quality management system, adding an environmental management perspective further enhances it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some key ways we fulfil ISO 14001 requirements in our day-to-day operations:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Internal and external audits: <\/strong>We actively audit our sites to ensure compliance with our management system. Audits help us catch any issues, analyse their root causes, and create corrective action plans to prevent them from happening again. We\u2019re also regularly audited by a third party to ensure we meet the standard&#8217;s requirements.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Employee training: <\/strong>We regularly train our employees so they understand the environmental impact of our activities and their own actions. We ensure they\u2019re familiar with our environmental policy and goals, and how their daily work helps achieve them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Documentation<\/strong>: We make sure our internal management system documentation is up-to-date. Each country also has a consistent way of tracking changes in local laws and regulations, and keeps a regularly reviewed law register.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverybody has an impact on the way we operate,\u201d says Tanja. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/why-rent\/sustainability\/\">Sustainability is in our DNA<\/a>\u2014everybody sees it as an important topic. And with knowledge, a sense of ownership grows within the company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimising our<a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/services\/industrial-laundry-services\/\"> laundry processes <\/a>is another way we comply with ISO 14001. Our laundries create a yearly environmental program to set and meet targets for key performance indicators (KPIs) like water usage, energy consumption, detergent use, and textile waste recycling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our environmental aspect and impact assessments, the laundries look for opportunities like partnering with recyclers to reduce textile waste and using more recycled and biobased fibres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How ISO 14001 fits with our larger sustainability goals&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our environmental assessments under the ISO 14001 standard, we\u2019ve identified these main areas for improvement, in line with our sustainability goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Textile waste management&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes how much waste we produce and how we handle it after use. Our ambitious goal is to recycle 100% of our textile waste by 2025. To get there, we\u2019ve set yearly group-level milestones and laundry-level targets. We\u2019ve made good progress so far, as we reached a 74% recycling rate at the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reducing GHG emissions&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions play a big role in climate change. By 2030, we aim to reduce our GHG emissions by 50% across the value chain from the 2021 levels. Our long-term target is net-zero emissions by 2050.&nbsp;<br>These goals are <a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/lindstroms-climate-targets-approved-by-the-science-based-targets-initiative\/\">backed by the Science Based Targets initiative<\/a>, which ensures we\u2019re in line with the latest climate science to limit global warming to 1.5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EcoVadis sustainability performance&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our latest goal is to upgrade our <a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/lindstrom-renews-gold-medal-in-ecovadis-sustainability-rating\/\">EcoVadis sustainability gold medal <\/a>to platinum, which would put us amongst the top 1% of all businesses assessed for sustainability performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EcoVadis assessments allow us to evaluate our sustainability performance, and showcase our efforts to all our stakeholders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing climate risks to protect our planet&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate change and upcoming EU sustainability reporting rules are pushing us to further assess risks, evaluate their impact on our business, and create plans to handle issues like water stress and extreme weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), for example, emphasises increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/behind-the-scenes-of-our-supplier-auditing-process\/\">supplier involvement<\/a> by evaluating their sustainability and monitoring supply chain performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As regulations tighten, we focus on systematic process control and data analysis to find solutions.
