Menard UK is delighted to have achieved ISO 14064‑1 verification with NQA, supported by carbon specialists Auditel. This accomplishment marks another significant milestone for the business as they continue to demonstrate their strong commitment to reducing their carbon footprint.
Completing the assessment is extremely rewarding for Menard UK, as it reflects the significant effort invested in accurately measuring and managing its greenhouse gas emissions. This verification brings a strong sense of pride and credibility and stands as a testament to the dedication of its employees and its ongoing commitment to improving environmental performance and driving carbon reduction.
Menard feel that Richard Smith, Carbon Measurement and Reduction Specialist at Auditel, and the rest of the Auditel team, have been an invaluable support throughout the entire process.
Georgia Gillen, Environmental Advisor at Menard UK comments, “From the outset, they helped us engage with our suppliers and gather all required data. They delivered informative workshops to guide us through the standard’s requirements and worked closely with us to organise our data accurately, ensuring correct emission factors and methodologies were applied. Their expertise in producing reports and supporting us during the verification audit contributed to a smooth and successful certification.”
Menard UK has received excellent feedback from the wider Menard Group, who recognise the achievement and view the company as setting a strong example within the industry. Menard UK looks forward to sharing this success with its broader client and supplier network and exploring future opportunities to collaborate with organisations that share its commitment to sustainability.
Looking ahead, Menard UK plans to maintain its ISO 14064‑1 accreditation through annual verification for each new reporting year, including upcoming audits for its 2024 and 2025 carbon footprints. The company will continue to monitor, measure, and verify its greenhouse gas emissions in line with the standard, collecting and validating a complete dataset each year while ensuring methodologies remain compliant and independently verified by NQA.
With its Carbon Reduction Plan already embedded into daily operations, Menard UK continues to integrate reduction initiatives, efficiency improvements, and low‑carbon practices across the business, supporting ongoing improvement, operational decarbonisation, and long‑term credibility in its emissions reporting.
Menard UK’s achievement of ISO 14064‑1 has strengthened internal awareness, improved data quality, and positioned the company to better support clients with transparent, independently verified carbon data. Georgia Gillen continues, “We are proud of this milestone and excited to continue advancing our sustainability journey in collaboration with our employees, suppliers, and clients.”
“Achieving ISO 14064 1 has strengthened our environmental governance and created a strong platform for continued carbon reduction.”
