Third Successive ISO 14001 Audit Passed with Full Compliance;
Manchester, UK - 11th August 2009: Magnesium Elektron UK announced today their third successive conclusion to an audit for the international Environmental Management Standard ISO 14001
Magnesium Elektron UK became accredited to BS EN ISO 14001:2004 in September 2008, and for the three audits since then, the company has passed with full compliance. No major or minor non-conformities have been found from any of the audits across the entire site. Magnesium Elektron UK has fully embraced the philosophy of business growth whilst reducing environmental impact.
ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that sets out how companies can go about putting in place an effective Environmental Management System. Environmental impact is becoming an increasingly important issue across the globe, with pressure to minimise any impact coming from a number of sources including Local and National Governments, Regulators, Trade Associations, Customers, Employees and Shareholders.
Using the ISO 14001 standard as a baseline, Magnesium Elektron UK aims to continue to reduce the impact on the environment from its processes. The assessment and elimination of its significant waste streams remains a top priority for 2009 and beyond.
The Magnesium Elektron Division is a world leader in the production of high performance magnesium alloys and products. Magnesium Elektron UK began production of magnesium in 1936 at its Manchester, UK plant and subsequently developed a wide range of magnesium alloy systems and products. The company is part of the Luxfer Group, an international manufacturer of high performance engineering materials including magnesium alloys, zirconium products and high pressure lightweight gas cylinders.
