Kitemark Focus
Using Kitemark to help ensure sustainability
The pressure is on companies to adopt sustainable practices and there is considerable support and interest in doing so not only for the environmental benefits but also the impact on the bottom line.
No matter what size the business, the benefits remain the same but one of the challenges is to understand what tools are available to help business adopt sustainable business practice.
As insurers, we strongly prefer to specify third-party tested products such as those covered by the new Kitemark certification scheme. That's because we know that we that we can rely on them to do the job they're designed for. The use of these products is something we would take into account as part of the risk assessment we make when deciding on premium, which means that, in appropriate circumstances, they can help homeowners to get better insurance cover.
Standards are not about introducing bureaucracy but about changing hearts, minds and outcomes to gain the greatest benefits and secure continuing and lasting success. They are documents which outline the most effective and efficient way to make a product or perform a task.
