International energy management certification for Grundon Bristol
Grundon’s Bristol site has been awarded the ISO 50001 certification for Energy Management following a detailed audit by national standards body BSI.
The certification recognises a commitment to addressing the business’ environmental impact, along with resource conservation and utilising efficient energy management to improve the bottom line.
It also verifies Grundon’s data collection processes, including seamless communication between the St Phillip’s site and the company’s head office and assesses the company’s ability to implement future actions for energy efficiency.
Jonathon Wrighton, Environment and Energy Technician, said: Our Bristol depot operations are committed to reducing diesel fuel consumption (the largest share of energy) – via its adoption of route optimisation software, alongside the addition of an electric waste collection vehicle.

“This internationally recognised accreditation recognises the extra efforts that we, as a company, have put into safeguarding our environment and preserving precious resources, whilst still delivering maximum value for our customers.
“Grundon has an excellent energy management system in place that invests in improving our on-site activities to minimise our energy consumption, including electricity and gas expenditures, and diesel fuel usage from the depot.
“We believe in investing in the future and our energy management system has been carefully designed to make our impact on the environment a positive one, consistently and efficiently.
“We also believe that our own internal audit process and regular data monitoring are second to none, reinforcing our requirement to constantly improve year-on-year.”
