Case Study: TC Industries of Europe boosts environmental efficiency with BSI ISO 14001 certification

How an Award-winning Manufacturer Has Used ISO 14001 Certification to Drive Up Environmental Efficiency and Boost Competitiveness

TC Industries of Europe, the UK subsidiary of a 130-year-old family-owned US manufacturer, needed to meet customer requirements, cut energy and operating costs, self-manage solvent emissions, comply with environmental regulations, and stay competitive. To support this, the company worked with **BSI** and adopted **ISO 14001 environmental management certification**.

With **BSI’s** help, including a gap analysis and certification support, TC Industries of Europe put a structured environmental management system in place, improved metering and energy tracking, optimized furnace operations and production scheduling, and strengthened waste and emissions controls. The results included a major boost in environmental efficiency, improved competitiveness, better regulatory compliance, and about a **50% reduction in energy used per tonne of product over 18 months**, with a further **20–30% efficiency gain** expected.
