Intertek expands sustainability services to
include Eco-Reinforcement certification
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to
industries worldwide, has been designated as the preferred vendor
for Eco-Reinforcement certification by the Eco-Reinforcement Scheme
Council.
Eco-Reinforcement is a trademark developed to identify
responsibly sourced reinforcing steel, which ensures building and
construction specifiers and contractors that they are purchasing
reinforcing steel from a supply chain that is pro-actively
addressing issues of sustainability. The third-party certification
scheme for Eco-Reinforcement has been developed in conjunction with
the reinforcing steel industry to comply with
Building Research Establishment (BRE) Global’s BES 6001:
2008 Framework Standard for the Responsible Sourcing of
Construction products.
Katie Livesey, Sustainability Project Leader at Intertek said:
“With Sustainability at the core of our business, we remain
dedicated to providing our customers with increased transparency in
order to manage risk and resilience, whilst supporting their
ability to operate effectively and act responsibly. At Intertek, we
are constantly evaluating and improving our Quality Assurance
services, in order to develop and implement key programs that
generate a positive impact for society and the environment. Our
commitment to enable organizations, across a wide range of sectors,
to keep ahead of their emerging sustainability requirements is
demonstrated by our current suite of sustainability solutions,
which now includes Eco-Reinforcement certification.”
Jamie Holling, Chairman and Director of the Eco-Reinforcement
Scheme Council said: “The Eco-Reinforcement Scheme Council is very
pleased to announce that Intertek is our preferred vendor for
Eco-Reinforcement. We appreciate Intertek’s commitment to our goal
of continually improving performance within the reinforcing steel
sector and we look forward to building a productive relationship as
a result of this designation.”
