Business Focus

"Having spent 20+ years in mining as a risk manager, this EMS system is outstanding."

- Ian Milne, Safety and Health Manager, Watch Tower

"Marsh Environmental Services was of great assistance in helping us implement our Environmental Management System and achieve ISO 14001 certification. We were thrilled to obtain certification first time round without the external auditors having to return. It was hard work, but an interesting learning curve for all at ISE. Thanks to Marsh Environmental Services - it would not have been possible to do it ourselves."

- Quality Assurance Manager, Innomotive Systems Europe (Southern African Division) (Pty) Ltd

"Through the implementation of a waste management programme, we were able to recover and recycle significant quantities of paper, oil, scrap metal and plastics. A simple water balance highlighted great water saving opportunities. The savings have quickly paid for a large portion of the costs of the entire implementation - consulting fees, groundwater well installation costs and all construction costs. ISO 14001 certification was achieved soon after the first external audit."

- Risk Control Manager, Alfred Teves (SA) (Pty) Ltd
