ED&F Man Achieve Environmental Accreditation

ED&F Man, the molasses blends specialists, have achieved accreditation to ISO14001 certification,  the leading international standard for environmental management systems (EMS) and the most widely used EMS in the world.

Managing Director Dr Phil Holder comments: “The animal feed industry is under increasing pressure to demonstrate high environmental standards.  Feed is one of the major sources of emissions on all livestock farming systems.  With ingredients contributing a significant proportion of the emissions in manufactured feeds, farmers are increasingly looking for ingredients with reduced environmental impact, and processors are also applying pressure.”

ISO14001 certification helps to control environmental aspects of the business, reduce impacts and ensure legal compliance.  Having already achieved ISO9001 some time ago, Dr Holder says ISO14001 accreditation is the next step to help shape and develop the business and set the standard in the markets they operate.

“This certification moves our business towards better environmental control and demonstrates alignment with ethical choices and acts as proof for assurance of service, improving business image and reputation in a world where preservation of the planet becomes ever more important.

“It is demonstrable verification to our customers, and their farmer customers of the high environmental standards of our range of molasses products and specialist blends, helping all to move towards net zero.”
