She goes on to comment: “GRI assurance gives our customers an independent guarantee that the content of our sustainability reporting is true and accurate. We have a long history in issuing environmental reports, and we can now provide best practice guarantees based on a third party assessment.
The BS OHSAS 18001 certification highlights 3663’s commitment to the welfare of its workforce, that its business is managed efficiently and responsibly, and demonstrates that it can provide a reliable service without excessive downtime caused by work-related accidents and incidents.
Duncalf concludes:
