We are delighted to share with you some important news regarding the introduction of ISO standards into our business.
ISO is an organisation responsible for the publication of all international standards.
We have now successfully achieved external certification with Exova BM TRADA, an international certification body accredited by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service), which in turn is a government recognised independent accreditation and certification body.
Accreditation will demonstrate to our customers that the quality of our service is of a consistently high standard. It also allows us to add the highly regarded UKAS symbol to all our documentation bringing both national and international recognition to our business.

Managing our impact on the environment is also a key business driver. Complying with regulations, reducing waste and defects and protecting the world’s resources for future generations is now a key priority.
Health & Safety (H&S) is also an important factor in looking after our employees, students, suppliers and contractors.

To become more ‘environmentally friendly’, Host is launching the #HostEnvironmentalPledge campaign to encourage responsible behaviour and drive sustainability across our sites throughout the UK and Ireland.
It’s a simple campaign! If we can reduce our overall utilities (electric, water and gas) consumption by 1% then we will donate £10,000, 2% reduction means £20,000, 3% is £30,000 and so on, to 3 charities; BulliesOut, Planet Patrol and World Land Trust.
