At Trafalgar Group, we pride ourselves in all that we do. Our products and systems are developed and designed by our experienced team of professionals, with safety being at the heart of it all. We’re a proud Australian business, with a large proportion of said products and systems being designed and manufactured right here in Granville and Ingleburn, New South Wales.

We’re excited to announce that Trafalgar has earned ISO 9001:2015 certification for our quality management system, specifically the design, production and supply of passive fire protection products and systems, access panels, safety storage solutions, and other specialty building products from our facilities in Granville and Ingleburn.

ISO 9001:2015 is the International Organization for Standardization’s quality management standard. This standard is recognized globally as a model for companies to consistently meet their customers’ expectations and improve the quality of their products. We’re very proud that our quality management system at our Granville and Ingleburn locations meets the standards of ISO 9001:2015, and we will continue to provide our customers with products and systems of the highest quality.

In 2022, Trafalgar has earned ISO14001:2015 certification for our Environmental Management system and its performance.

ISO 14001:2015 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 14001:2015 is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.  

This helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization's environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include; enhancement of environmental performance, fulfilment of compliance obligations, and achievement of environmental objectives.

Trafalgar is committed to minimizing the impact on the environment through our operations. Trafalgar’s focus on sustainability and environmental awareness stems from our owner, John Rakic, who has a great passion for circular economy and resource recovery. Trafalgar Group is  ISO 14001 certified, for Environmental Management Systems, highlighting our dedication to environmental responsibility and sustainability.

Our environmental sustainability goals are:

1. Reduce soft plastics going into landfill until 0% of landfill is soft plastics
2. Reduce cardboard and paper going into landfill until 0% of landfill is cardboard and paper
3. Reduce reliance on fossil fuel energy
4. Reduce single-use, non-recyclable materials from packaging
5. Instill a culture that embraces sustainability in all decision making

Some steps we have taken to reduce our carbon footprint:

• Solar panels are installed on the factory roof to replace fossil fuel energy with clean energy.
• Replaced virgin cardboard with recycled cardboard for packaging.
• Replaced bubble wrap with biodegradable wrap.
• Implementation of balers onsite to compact plastic and cardboard waste.
• E-waste collection points and recycling stations for used batteries.
• Segregation bins were purchased for office and factory staff for co-mingled materials, soft plastics, and paper and cardboard to divert recyclable materials from landfill.
• A recycling station was set up for collecting used coffee pods
   

In 2022, we also earned ISO 45001:2018. ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance. 

This is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks (including system deficiencies), take advantage of OH&S opportunities, and address OH&S management system nonconformities associated with its activities.
