There is growing pressure from clients for suppliers to demonstrate improvements to all service areas and particularly with regard to Quality and Environmental Management.
Litter Boss has held both ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certification for a number of years. Earlier this year the company sought better recognition of its high standards of Management procedures and as a result ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 were re-awarded to Litter Boss by ACS Registrars accredited by UKAS - The United Kingdom Accreditation Service.

UKAS is the sole national accreditation body recognised by government to assess, against internationally agreed standards, organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services.
 
To further demonstrate our commitment to continually improve our systems and procedures within the business, Litter Boss will now strive to attain OHSAS 18001 certification through UKAS.
