ISO 14001 Certification: Commitment to Sustainable Practices
ISO 14001 certification sets stringent guidelines for developing, implementing, and continuously improving an effective environmental management system (EMS). For GGE, this certification signifies more than compliance—it is a proactive commitment to sustainable steel fabrication that aligns with our values and industry leadership. Our ISO 14001 certified EMS helps us monitor and manage our environmental impact at every step, from material sourcing to the fabrication and installation of structural steel.
At GGE, we view ISO 14001 as a framework for consistent improvement. Our team continually evaluates and refines processes to ensure we meet evolving standards in sustainability. This certification underpins our approach to eco-friendly practices, allowing us to uphold environmental standards and protect natural resources while delivering high-quality steel solutions.
Supporting Green Star Projects
As an ISO 14001 certified company, GGE is uniquely positioned to support projects aiming for the highest Green Star rating of 6. The Green Star rating system, administered by the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC), evaluates the environmental performance of buildings. Achieving a 6 Green Star rating demonstrates excellence in sustainability across areas like energy efficiency, resource conservation, and indoor environmental quality.
GGE collaborates closely with clients to deliver sustainable steel solutions that meet the strict criteria required for a 6 Green Star rating. Our sustainable practices make GGE a preferred partner for projects seeking top Green Star ratings, contributing to NZ’s broader goals of reducing environmental impact. Whether for commercial, industrial, or infrastructure projects, our expertise in sustainable steel fabrication helps clients achieve their Green Star goals, ensuring their buildings are both eco-friendly and resource-efficient.
