At Novum, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As a company committed to reducing environmental impact and driving energy-efficient innovation, we are proud to announce that Novum has achieved ISO 14001 certification—the globally recognised standard for environmental management systems.

This certification reinforces our dedication to sustainable business practices, ensuring that our operations meet international standards for environmental responsibility while continually striving for improvement in reducing our ecological footprint.

A Commitment to Sustainability

ISO 14001 is a benchmark standard for organisations that prioritise environmental management and sustainability. Achieving this certification required Novum to undergo a comprehensive evaluation of our environmental policies, waste management strategies, energy efficiency measures, and overall commitment to minimising environmental impact.

Sustainability at Novum goes beyond producing the most sustainable freezers on the planet. Our dual-temperature supermarket freezers are the only ones to achieve ENERGY STAR accreditation for our customers, setting a new industry benchmark for efficiency. However, our commitment extends beyond product innovation—it’s about what we do in terms of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). ISO 14001 supports and complements our ESG goals and initiatives, reinforcing our dedication to responsible sourcing, waste reduction, employee well-being, and ethical business practices. The integration of ISO 14001 into our management system enhances our overall sustainability strategy and contributes to improved ESG performance.
