Adopting an environmental policy is an important first step to reducing the impact of the crematorium on the environment, which we recognise by granting you our Bronze Award. If you do not currently have an environmental policy, you can adopt our very own ‘Trusted Crematorium Environmental Policy’.

All you need do to commence your journey to a Bronze Award is complete your online application, submit it with a copy of your chosen environmental policy and evidence of how staff are informed of its requirements.

The application and supporting evidence is checked by a qualified ISO 14001 internal auditor, who will also answer any questions you may have and support you throughout your journey towards greater sustainability. The process is overseen by an independent qualified ISO 14001 Lead Auditor.

Having achieved a Bronze Award, you will receive a certificate of recognition confirming to the Cremation Authority, staff, funeral directors and families that your crematorium is committed to the environment. You will receive the Bronze Award logo to include in your branding and details of your crematorium will be updated on the Greener Globe Funeral Standard website, informing every one of your achievement.

Your award will expire after one year of your initial application and is renewed by simply confirming your continued commitment to our Trusted Environmental policy or equivalent and payment of your surveillance audit fee.
