Working to the highest standards

2SB Advisors only work to the standards required by the leading UKAS accredited certification bodies which is the only grade of certification that meets the requirements of Government departments and larger private sector organisations.

Driving Continuous improvement and saving time and effort

The world wide success of ISO 14001 is that it is a practical management system which has been developed to help organisations focus on both implementing and then continually working to reduce their environmental impact.

ISO 14001 has adapted many of the features of ISO 9000, the Quality Management Standard, and 2SB’s Advisors have established considerable experience in creating a combined environmental and quality management system, saving both time and effort.

The ships of yester-year were built for purpose, they utilised available technology at that time, similarly, we need todays' latest technology to meet the growing demands on business today.

Typical Implementation timetable

The typical implementation of a fully certified system normally takes in the region of 8 to 10 months depending on the size and complexity of the organisation and comprises of the 2SB Advisor visiting once every 3 to 4 weeks to provide instruction and training in the workings of an effective environmental management and/or quality management system.

After about 7 months, there is the stage one independent audit from your selected UKAS accredited assessment body to check that the system has been effectively implemented and to highlight areas that might need further development. We will then continue to work with you to ensure that these development points are cleared prior to the stage two audit at which the assessor needs to see a fully functioning environmental management and/ or quality management system, after which you will be awarded your certificate which is valid for three years.

Our guarantee and ongoing support

Our guarantee is that we will continue to work with you until you achieve certification.

On completion of the certification process organisations have the choice of taking over the full management of the system or continuing to have on going support to meet the requirements of future annual assessments.

Chain of Custody

Environmental Responsibilities

FSC  PEFC Chain of Custody  Management in Kent, London and the South East from 2SB.

Customers increasingly want to know about the environmental impact of the products and services that they are purchasing and organisations need to respond to these developing market forces.

Whether it is the manufacture of rope for a yacht or a chain for a ship, each link in the process will have an impact on the adjacent element.  Being organised and managing this process will make the difference between success in the current endeavour and sustainability of the same processes in the future.

What is FSC Chain of Custody?

The World’s forests are a vital natural resource and it is essential that they are well managed to provide both resources we both need now and for and future generations. In addition the forests play a key role in converting Carbon Dioxide in to Oxygen and stabilising the environment both of which are crucial for all our future well being.

Indiscriminate logging for short term commercial gain is putting the World’s forests under huge pressure, as well as removing the livelihoods of those who have traditionally depended on forests and the habitats of species that are essential for a well balanced eco system.
It is critical that we only use wood from well managed forests and the purpose of the Chain of Custody is to provide independently verifiable evidence that wood we use in our paper and wood based products is from forests that are well managed.

Evidence of that the wood product is from a well managed source is done with the “FSC tick tree logo” displayed on the product.

Chain of Custody

“The Wood fibre Chain from forest to consumer, each link in the chain needs to be independently verified to ensure that the chain is not broken and wood from forests that are not well managed does not enter the chain”

 

How can 2SB help with Chain of Custody'?

Businesses that process, manufacture and buy and sell wood and wood fibre products need to have independently verifiable systems in place to demonstrate that the FSC Certified Wood / Wood Fibre /Paper that they have purchased, processed and sold on  has not been contaminated with “uncertified” product whilst in their custody and can continue to carry the “FSC tick tree logo”

The role of 2SB is to prepare businesses and their staff for independent verification of their business processes to meet the requirements of the FSC Chain of Custody Standard.

We can help you prepare for Chain of Custody:

  • Preparation of the FSC Chain of Custody Manual
  • Development of tailored documentation
  • Staff training
  • Assisting in the selection of an independent certification body
  • On going support to achieve certification
