ARDEX UK and BAL Retain ISO 14064-1 Certification and Achieve Gold Status for Five Consecutive Years of CO2 Reductions

ARDEX UK and BAL – part of the ARDEX Group UK – are proud to announce they have both achieved Gold Certification for five years of continuous CO2 reduction and have retained their ISO 14064-1 certifications for greenhouse gas reductions, says the company. Both companies have retained their certification following successful external audits and peer reviews.

The certifications, issued by Achilles’ Carbon Reduce (powered by Toitu) scheme and verified to ISO 14064-1:2018 standards, recognise the ongoing commitment of both organisations to measuring, managing, and actively reducing their carbon emissions.

Says the company: ‘Both businesses continue to make significant progress toward delivering the ARDEX Group’s Building Tomorrow sustainability strategy and remain firmly on track to achieve carbon neutrality across Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030.

‘Both BAL and ARDEX have demonstrated significant emission reductions over a rolling five-year reporting period.

BAL has delivered a 16% reduction in Category 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions, meanwhile ARDEX UK has achieved an even greater reduction of 21% across the same categories.’

These reductions are described by the company to highlight the effectiveness of the companies’ Carbon Neutral Roadmap initiatives, including ongoing investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy, carbon-conscious procurement, active emissions monitoring, and improved operational practices across UK facilities.

Paul Vickers, UK procurement manager & member of the ARDEX Group Sustainability Corporate Unit, said: ‘Achieving Gold Certification for five consecutive years of CO2 reductions is a testament to the commitment and collaboration of our teams across the UK. Both ARDEX UK and BAL have made sustainability a core priority-integrating carbon reduction into daily decision-making, long-term capital planning, and our wider organisational culture.

‘We’re delighted to see such strong, measurable progress and remain fully focused on delivering our 2030 commitment to carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

‘This milestone reinforces that we’re on the right path, and we will continue to build on these achievements with transparency, innovation, and responsibility.’
