Switch2 Energy, the district heating specialist, has been awarded the ISO 14001:2015 environmental and OHSAS 18001: 2007 health and safety accreditations.

The international standards have been integrated with the company's existing ISO 9001:2015 quality management system to mark a triple achievement.

The company was supported through the process by FPA Consulting ( http://www.fpaconsulting.co.uk/) and LRQA, which recommended Switch2 for the double certification following a five-day audit process.

Managing director of Switch2, Kirsty Lambert, said: 'We have always had robust management systems and processes, but we now have a fully integrated management system that combines the world's best environmental, health and safety and quality ISO standards.

'We have undertaken a rigorous business improvement and assurance process with professional support from FPA and LRQA and are very proud to have achieved a trio of ISO accreditations. These standards are at the heart of our strategy and operation, and are crucial in supporting the ongoing growth of our business.'
