The 2017 installation of a Combined Heat and Power Unit at Domino’s Cambridge HQ is reducing the company’s CO2 footprint by over 22.8 tons annually. Similarly, a sustainable lighting system will cut annual energy usage and CO2 emissions by 42,000 kg.
Accreditations
Domino's commitment to excellence is reflected in the ISO 9000 series of quality assurance certified manufacturing plants in the UK, US and China, as well as subsidiaries in Spain and France. Wiedenbach Apparatebau, a German Domino Group company, has also achieved the ISO 9001 status.
In addition, Domino's printer plant in China and fluid factories in the UK, China and the US have received ISO 14001 accreditation for environmental management and improvement. These accreditations were awarded as a result of continued achievements to reduce the plants’ electricity consumption without reducing production and for cutting plant waste through recycling.
