Brian Hancock, Martin Brower North America President, said, “Our sustainability efforts began years ago, but our greatest improvements did not happen until we deployed a consistent environmental standard for all of our operations and opened ourselves up to external audits. Through the findings of the separate ISO 14001 audits at each center we were able to make improvements to our Environmental Management System (EMS) resulting in tremendous reductions in the amount of resources we use and the amount of waste we generate.”

We encourage all supply chain operations to become ISO 14001 certified.”
“We’ve deployed an Environmental Policy, Environmental Management System (EMS) and an Environmental Scorecard in all 18 of our US distribution centers.
