Fixing Point Achieves ISO 14064-1 Accreditation: Another Step Toward a Lower-Carbon Future
At Fixing Point, we’ve always believed that doing things properly isn’t just good practice it’s part of who we are. From precision engineered fixings to the personal support we give our customers, attention to detail runs through everything we do. Our latest milestone reflects that same mindset: Fixing Point is now officially accredited to ISO 14064-1, the globally recognised standard for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions.
This accreditation isn’t a badge for the wall. It’s a commitment to understanding our impact, improving the way we operate and contributing to a more sustainable construction industry.
What ISO 14064-1 Actually Means
ISO 14064-1 provides a structured framework for measuring, managing, and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. In practice, that means:
- A clear view of our carbon footprint.
- Verified, credible data.
- A transparent approach to environmental responsibility.
For customers and partners, that translates into increased clarity about the environmental performance of the products and services you use every day.
Why It’s Important For Our Industry
The roofing and cladding sector and construction as a whole is under increasing pressure to improve sustainability whether from regulations, project requirements, or client expectations. You, our customers, are being asked more often about the carbon footprint of their supply chain, and having verified data makes those conversations far easier.
Our ISO 14064-1 accreditation means you can rely on credible, independently verified emissions reporting from Fixing Point. It’s one less thing you need to worry about when you’re managing complex projects and tight deadlines.
What We’ve Already Put In Place
- The accreditation process provided valuable data and insight, highlighting key areas for improvement. As a result, we’ve already begun implementing several initiatives, such as:
- Optimising transport planning working with our delivery partners to reduce emissions.
- Improving recycling processes across metals, plastics, and packaging. All wood waste is recycled into animal bedding.
- Monitoring our carbon output continuously, not once a year.
- Lowering our impact on the environment no waste to Landfill & all branded Fixing Point cardboard FSC certified.
- Cutting greenhouse emissions with 100% Green energy at our head office & Hybrid vehicle fleet.
These are practical, internal improvements but they support the bigger picture: helping the construction industry shift toward lower-carbon solutions without compromising quality or service.
How This Benefits Our Customers
While sustainability is a core focus, it never gets in the way of what our customers need most: reliability, technical expertise, and a personal response when it matters.
Our ISO 14064-1 work strengthens that service by giving you:
- Greater transparency when tendering or reporting on sustainability metrics.
- Assurance that your supply chain is evolving responsibly.
- A partner actively reducing the environmental impact of your project.
As always, if you need to discuss specific products, technical details or documentation, you’ll speak directly with someone here who knows the industry no ticket queues or automated responses.
Looking Ahead
This accreditation is not the finish line, it’s the structure we’ll build on as part of our goal and ethos of continuous improvement. Over the next 12–18 months, we’ll continue to:
- Enhance our carbon measurement across the full product lifecycle.
- Paperless operations across multiple departments.
- Identify reduction opportunities within manufacturing and logistics.
- Support customers with clearer environmental product information.
- Investing in solar power for our manufacturing sites.
Our goal is simple: combine industry-leading products with long-term, responsible operations. It’s all part of keeping “Everything On Point.”
