green dragon environmental auditing
XS NRG is pleased to announce that it is now working with Groundwork Wales to provide the Green Dragon Environmental Standard across Cardiff, Newport and the Vale of Glamorgan.
After entering into a licensing agreement with Groundwork Wales, XS NRG will be auditing companies and organisations against the Green Dragon Environmental Standard.
The Green Dragon Environmental Standard recognises effective environmental management in companies and organisations, large and small in any industry or business sector. The Standard provides a great opportunity for all businesses to develop an environmental management system relevant to their specific needs.
Ian McIntosh, Groundwork Wales Director said “Groundwork is committed to working across Wales to support all organisations including local authorities, community groups, social enterprises and private sector businesses to achieve Green Dragon certification. This new partnership with XS NRG will assist in continuing to ensure that the needs of all Welsh businesses are met, by providing the Standard to current and new clients.”
The Green Dragon Environmental Standard is a stepped system comprising five Levels of achievement. A company or organisation can apply at the level that suits their size, structure and activities. It provides the framework to:
- make cost savings;
- comply with legislation;
- improve environmental performance;
- increase competitiveness.
Achievement of any level receives recognition through certification and addition to the Green Dragon Website Register, demonstrating an organisations progress and commitment to environmental management. To gain certification at a particular level the organisation must meet the requirements of that level and all previous levels. The five Green Dragon Levels are:
- Level 1 – Commitment to Environmental Management;
- Level 2 – Understanding Environmental Responsibilities;
- Level 3 – Managing Environmental Impacts;
- Level 4 – Environmental Management Programme;
- Level 5 – Continuing Environmental Improvement.
