As I’ve mentioned before, Alara is working towards Green Mark certification and last week we had our Green Mark Level 1 assessment. Everything seemed to go well on the day and all we need to do now is submit as many documents as possible as evidence that we are doing all the things we say we are. This includes things like Duty of Care Notes from our waste carriers (it’s really important for businesses to hold on to these for at least 2 years in case of audits), evidence of compliance with packaging regulations and evidence of purchasing recycled products. All the evidence will then be reviewed by an external assessor and as long as they are happy with it, we will be awarded the Green Mark to display on our packaging in about 2 weeks time.

But it doesn’t stop there…as soon as we have achieved Level 1 we will start to work towards Level 2
