UK's leading potato supplier Branston proves its green credentials

Branston Ltd, the UK’s largest supplier of potatoes, is now fully ISO 14001 accredited.

The company, which has a handling capacity in excess of 400,000 tonnes a year, secured the standard at its South West operation earlier this month, which means all of its three sites are operating to the ISO 14001 standard. Branston’s Lincolnshire site was awarded ISO 14001 in January this year, with the Perth factory passing its audit in March 2003.

ISO 14001 is only awarded to companies that are able to demonstrate their commitment to reducing their impact on the environment wherever possible throughout all their activities. Branston’s environmental management system covers all aspects of the business, from ethical sourcing, through to efficient packing and storage.
