Wilo gets CEMARS certification

Leading pump manufacturer Wilo UK has been granted CEMARS certification after a gruelling eighteen month process to achieve this exacting carbon reduction certification.

CEMARS certified organisations have measured their organisation’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in accordance to ISO 14064–1, so they understand what their impact is on the global climate. They then make a commitment to managing and reducing their GHG emissions by creating an emissions management and reduction plan.

The GHG emissions included in the organisations measurement include all Scope 1 (direct emissions, such as company owned vehicles), Scope 2 (indirect emissions, such as purchased electricity) and mandatory Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions that are not directly under the organisations control, such as employee business travel).

The organisation measurement focuses more on the business as a whole and does not extend significantly along the product supply chain.

“This is a certification we are extremely proud to hold,” said Wilo’s Simon Oakes, Sales Director – Water Management and Industry.

“It involves a lengthy process of audits and quality assessments to ascertain, measure and reduce carbon emissions from every aspect of our business activity. We are proud to have the CEMARS certification since it demonstrates that carbon reduction matters to Wilo, and it fits perfectly into the worldwide Wilo Environmental Policy.  

"It’s a standard component and key driver of our business – Wilo is about so much more than pump supply and manufacture. We wish to deliver the highest levels of innovation and service contributing to a sustainable, responsible and caring future and environment.”
