BookSource has announced that it has been awarded ISO 14001:2015, the internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems (EMS).


The certification was awarded following an audit assessment by an external body.  

BookSource’s Managing Director, Davinder Bedi said: ‘Positive environmental practices have been at the core of our operations for several years, working towards ISO 14001 certification allowed us to create an even deeper focus on our operational processes and their impact on the environment.’


He continued ‘We have reached a key milestone on our environmental journey.  We have a responsibility to our publishers, customers, colleagues and planet to reduce our environmental impact.  Our ambition is to become the leading distributor for sustainability.  It is my hope that this certification underlines our priorities for the future.  We are committed to play our part in a sustainable world while driving the business further.’
