ISO 14001 Achievement

Try to count how many times a week you hear that we need to improve the planet. I dare you. For many, the message seems to appear so often, that the impact has morphed into just another day to day annoyance. It has become background noise, or worse, a phrase that provokes disdain. To make matters worse, the message is often conveyed with a sense of guilt. This is probably to get your attention, but does it work? I doubt it. Over time, the constant bombardment makes most numb, irritated or simply immune to the idea all together. Sure, people will nod in agreement. Of course we need to save the planet, protect the environment and not disrupt nature’s balances. But who has the time? And besides, the problem is too big to do anything about anyway. At least, that is what a lot of people think.

At Tekmos, we decided that talk is cheap. Slogans on a website are great, but do they really get a result? Can you see the result? Can you measure it? We didn’t think so. We decided to go beyond the rhetoric. At Tekmos, we decided to roll up our sleeves, take control of what areas we do impact, and make a difference.

That is why we are proud to announce that we have achieved a new Quality Certification. The ISO 14001:2004. Tekmos has created an environmental management system that identifies, measures and continually strives to improve the environment we impact. We did this not just for ourselves, but also for the community we live in, and for everyone we do business with.

“Let’s make our world a better place.” Sure, it is a slogan. But isn’t it nice to know that there are companies that don’t just say it. They do it.
