At all times Swords Laboratories utilises best practices in the areas of safety, waste minimisation and environmental protection. Over the last number of years the company has made ongoing significant investment in the areas of wastewater treatment, air emission control and environmental monitoring and safety systems.
Swords Laboratories obtained the international voluntary standard on Environmental Management Systems, ISO 14001 in early 1998. The maintenance of this standard, via external independent audits, demonstrates commitment to continuously improving the company's environmental performance.
The company is continually looking at ways to reduce its environmental impact by substituting chemicals, reducing waste at source and implementing recycling projects. The company has an Integrated Pollution Control Licence from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) who carry out unannounced inspections of the site regularly. All monitoring results are also reported to the EPA on a monthly basis.
