The certification reflects our focus on:

✅Reducing waste and improving resource efficiency

✅Strengthening compliance

✅And continuously improving how we operate

A big thank you to the teams involved in achieving this and to our clients and partners for supporting our commitment to higher environmental standards.

Achilles is recognised across energy, construction, utilities and the public sector as a robust third-party verification body - providing assurance to clients and partners that supply chain due diligence, risk management and performance are being taken seriously.

This accreditation reflects the systems, processes and people behind our work - and our ongoing commitment to operating to the highest standards across everything we do.✅

A strong platform to build from as we head into the year ahead.💪

🎄 Christmas can be especially tough for children spending time in hospital - so this week, MACL’s Leila Stammers, Daryl Bellingham and Angela Guy visited Broomfield Hospital’s Children’s Ward in Chelmsford with a van full of gifts to help brighten their day.

Lego, games, books, crafts and fidget toys bought by MACL will be given to children from newborns to teenagers who may be on the ward over Christmas.

We’re incredibly grateful to the staff at Broomfield for the care they give year-round, and we hope these gifts bring a moment of joy and comfort when it’s needed most. 💛🎄

❤ We wish the children, families and staff at Broomfield Hospital a warm, peaceful and joyful Christmas.
