Camera enforcement specialist Parifex has been awarded an environmental industry certification, ISO 14001.

This provides assurance that the environmental impact of the company's activities is being measured and improved.

Parifex president Franck Peyré says the certification "shows that we are convinced that an environmental approach will be necessary in the future and we want to be an actor of it".

"We also hope that our clients could benefit from our efforts to improve their own carbon footprint," he added.

Audrey Gasse, continuous improvement manager, says: “Parifex is a forerunner in environmental issues and will be already involved in an energy policy when the environmental wave will come in the coming years”.

The European Union has encouraged member states to halve their greenhouse gas emissions.

Parifex says it is "already committed to meeting regulatory requirements and customers’ expectations".
