Arc Energy Resources has had its environmental management system certified by Lloyds Register to BS EN ISO 14001:2004. Arc Energy’s environment and procurement manager Andrew Robinson became an associate member of the Institute for Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) as part of the process. The audit was completed within a month despite the unique problems posed by Arc Energy’s location, as Andrew explains: “The factory is situated on the site of an 18th century mill, and is bounded by the river Frome, the Stroudwater canal, a brook and a drainage ditch. This makes the site almost an island and, with no mains drainage available, made control of spills and runoff an area of particular importance.”
