Belden Brick First to Get ISO14001

Words: Dan Kamys Belden Brick First to Get ISO14001

??

The Belden Brick Co. is the first manufacturer of brick products to receive ISO14001 Certification, given to businesses that show environmental responsibility through compliance with government regulations, verifying this compliance through strict documentation.

The entire process took about one year, once the decision was made for Belden Brick to pursue ISO 14001 Certification. After a team of third-party auditors came to the company in March, Belden had to wait 30 days for the results. The company received official notification that they had received certification on May 6.

The certification lasts for three years and shows proof that the company follows environmentally responsible practices, meets legal requirements, and seeks opportunities as environmental stewards. Yearly follow-up audits keep company operations alert as it works to maintain the certification.
