MCM Direct limited gains ISO14001

Southern based mailing services provider MCM Direct Limited has achieved the internationally recognised ISO14001, establishing it as one of the leaders in the mailing service field.

This independent assessment was conducted by the British Accreditation Bureau, a leading Certification Body, and demonstrates MCM Direct’s commitment to the environment. Martin Collier, MCM Direct’s Managing Director said “We wanted our customers to be aware of our commitment to the environment, much of the work involved in the ISO 14001 process we were already doing - we have been recycling all of our paper and card for over 5 years. Making it a more formal process was all that was required to demonstrate our conformance to the standard.”

ISO 14001:2004 was first introduced in 1996 as a British Standard and requires organisations to have an environmental policy and action plan to manage their impact on their environment. Accredited organisations are committed to continuous improvement and are assessed annually to ensure progress is being maintained.

The benefits of registration to the ISO14001 standard include:

  • Streamlining an organisation's procedures.
  • Reducing cost and rework.
  • Improving an organisation's management practices.
  • Enhanced status.
  • Competitive advantage.
  • Lower insurance premiums.

MCM Direct has been providing mailing and print solutions for over 20 years and has grown to be one of the premier mailing solution providers in the South. It employs over 40 staff occupying 10,000 square ft of factory space in Hedge End, Southampton.
