At mcbath, we have reached an important milestone in our commitment to sustainability: we have obtained the ISO 14001:2015 certification for our environmental management system, endorsed by AENOR and IQNet. This dual recognition reflects our dedication to more responsible production, process control and continuous improvement in everything we do.
We want to share why this certification is important, what it brings to our customers and professionals, and how it fits into the way we understand sustainability.
What is the ISO 14001:2015 certification and what does it certify?
The ISO 14001:2015 certification is an international standard that certifies that a company has an environmental management system in place, controlled and focused on continuous improvement. This means working with processes that make it possible to identify the environmental aspects of the activity, establish control measures, comply with applicable requirements and move towards more efficient resource management.
In our case, the certification is linked to the design, development and production of gel coat and resin shower trays and washbasins, as well as the production of ramps, skirting boards and wall panels.
Why is it important for us?
Obtaining the ISO 14001:2015 certification reinforces the path we have been building in terms of sustainability. We are not talking about an isolated action, but about a natural evolution within our environmental roadmap.
At mcbath, we work with specific objectives, such as reducing our carbon footprint, improving energy consumption, reducing the vulnerability of our facilities to climate risks and increasing the percentage of recovered industrial waste.
This certification helps us consolidate that work with a recognised structure. It allows us to measure better, make more informed decisions and continue incorporating improvements into the way we manufacture our bathroom solutions.
- What is the purpose of the certification?
Demonstrating that there is a real, audited system behind our environmental management translates into direct benefits for every stakeholder in the value chain:
- For specifiers and architects: It represents technical and legal assurance. It is a guarantee that helps justify construction and environmental standards in audits, tenders and large-scale contract projects.
- For distributors: It provides the differential value of working with a manufacturer that integrates real sustainability into its production model, not just as a marketing argument.
- For installers: It offers the peace of mind of working with materials and solutions manufactured under strictly controlled processes.
- For the end customer: It guarantees that the products in their bathroom come from a brand that is actively and demonstrably committed to caring for the environment.
In addition, in day-to-day operations, this certification helps improve resource management, reinforce environmental compliance, control waste, review processes and move forward with a mindset of continuous improvement.
