What I value most about PAS 402 is its sector-specific focus. Unlike broader environmental management standards like ISO 14001, PAS 402 is tailored specifically to the waste management industry. It addresses not only environmental impact but also critical aspects of health, safety, and quality (SHEQ), ensuring that every part of our operation meets rigorous and relevant standards.
Membership of the Green Compass Scheme provides concrete, independently UKAS verified proof of compliance with PAS 402 and our commitment to responsible waste handling, landfill diversion, and sustainable practices—giving our customers and suppliers confidence in both our performance and our values.
