Governance
For Recycling Lives Services, B Corp certification reflects the way our business operates. Alongside delivering compliant waste management and resource recovery services, our business model generates measurable environmental and social impact. Through responsible resource management and circular economy practices, we reduce waste, recover valuable materials and support the transition to a more sustainable economy.
Our work also creates opportunities for rehabilitation and employment, helping individuals rebuild their lives while contributing to the circular economy.
Our core governance areas are:
ISO Certification – our compliance business has ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) qualifications. These are critical to upholding our high standards of operation
Memberships and Accreditations – we are members of industry bodies and accredited to various standards which ensures we are up to date with the latest legislation and policy in our sectors and in many cases help shape this for the benefit of all our stakeholders
Policies & procedures – we operate to a strict set of internal policies, procedures and audit processes covering financial/risk management, compliance, human resource, environmental management and more which help regulate our high standards of operation and service delivery
Code of conduct – to ensure our supply chain uphold the same high governance standards as we do internally, we monitor ourselves and monitor our partners against a robust code of conduct
