Brussels, June 12th 2023 – ATG®, a Global Leader in Professional Work Gloves, Achieves ISO 14064 Accreditation for Environmental Management.
ATG®, a global leader in production of premium professional work gloves, is proud to announce its successful achievement of ISO 14064 accreditation for Environmental Management. This esteemed certification acknowledges ATG®’s commitment to minimizing its environmental impact and fostering sustainability in its operations.
ISO 14064 is an internationally recognized standard that provides guidelines for quantifying, monitoring, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals. The accreditation demonstrates ATG®’s dedication to transparently measuring its carbon footprint and taking proactive steps to mitigate climate change.
By obtaining ISO 14064 accreditation, ATG® has further solidified its position as a responsible corporate citizen, prioritizing environmental stewardship alongside technological advancements at its 100% privately owned facilities.
To achieve ISO 14064 accreditation, ATG® underwent a rigorous evaluation process conducted by an independent third-party, SGS®. The assessment covered various aspects of the organization’s environmental management system, including GHG accounting, emissions reduction strategies, and continuous improvement measures.
ATG® has implemented robust practices and policies to reduce its carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency across its facilities. This accreditation highlights ATG®’s comprehensive carbon management approach, which includes measuring, reporting, and verifying its GHG emissions in line with international standards.
“Our ISO 14064 accreditation represents ATG® commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible business practices,” said Mr Sisira Kumara, Director of Quality Assurance at ATG®. “We firmly believe that addressing climate change is an essential component of our mission to ensure the safe and beneficial production of our gloves. We will continue to explore innovative solutions and actively work towards a greener future.”
ATG®‘s dedication to sustainable practices extends beyond its internal operations by actively working on research and development initiatives that leverage technology platforms to assist and address environmental challenges. For example, the DURAtech® technology platform is a good example that extends the glove life to reduce user consumption so reducing waste whilst providing value for money to customers. The DURAtech® technology, applied across the proRange® gloves, also facilitates the laundering of gloves, which are certified according to ISO 6330:2021, to access the full potential of the extended life provided by the DURAtech® technology platform. By collaborating with partners across industries, academia, and its own in-house R&D, ATG® aims to drive technological innovation that contributes to a more sustainable world.
