FDB (First Databank) achieves ISO 14001:2015 certification - the internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems
FDB (First Databank) today announced that it has recently achieved certification to the ISO 14001:2015 standard, an international benchmark for environmental management systems (EMS). This is a significant step for FDB, the UK’s leading supplier of prescribing decision support solutions, and the accomplishment reflects our dedication to environmental responsibility and our commitment to sustainable practices.
FDB’s solutions are integrated into healthcare systems across a wide range of settings and enable evidence-based prescribing by providing essential checks to support clinicians.
ISO 14001:2015 is a globally recognised standard that provides a framework for organisations to develop and enhance an EMS. By adhering to this standard, organisations can minimise their environmental impact, comply with relevant legal requirements, and achieve their environmental goals across various areas including resource usage and involving stakeholders in environmental commitments.
Denise Strawbridge, Head of Legal & Compliance at FDB, says: “We are immensely proud to have achieved the ISO 14001:2015 certification, a testament to our unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability. This milestone reflects our dedication to minimising our environmental footprint and complying with global standards. Our team’s effort and commitment to excellence have propelled us to this significant accomplishment, underscoring our dedication to this important initiative.”
FDB achieved ISO 14001:2015 in October 2024 under certificate number: GB24/00000205 with SGS United Kingdom Ltd.
