Severn Trent Green Power comprises of a group of 14 different companies, some of which were formerly known as Agrivert (a business that we acquired in 2018 - see the full story here).
Since Agrivert Group Ltd has only recently been merged into the Severn Trent Green Power family, we currently have 2 different sets of ISO certifications; one for our Northern most facilities and another for our Southern and Welsh facilities (the former Agrivert food waste & composting facility network).
Both operate comprehensive Business Management Systems. These sound frameworks ensure a consistent and uniform approach across all elements of each of the companies, underpinning our best-in-class operating approach.
All of our sites are regularly audited by internal and external auditors to ensure we are consistently in compliance with these standards.
