Hinkle, Richter & Rhine, LLP, CPAs, a 40+ year old, full-service accounting firm, serving clients in South Florida and across the country, has continued its environmental sustainability commitment by renewing and extending its Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification through 2023.
The Edenark Group ISO 14001 is the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program and allows SMEs (small to mid-sized enterprises) the ability to attain the world’s most popular environmental certification standard via a program designed and priced specifically for them. Edenark Group also helps clients pursue carbon neutrality and ESG compliance, using the Edenark Group ISO 14001 as a foundation for long term compliance.
The program, which allows companies to progressively improve at a pace that works for their needs, helps the organization define how it interacts internally, externally, and with the environment. It incorporates energy/waste/water, employee health and performance enhancement, community involvement, procurement and suppliers, compliance and regulations, emergency/security, and stakeholder engagement. Benefits include creating a culture of continual improvement, stakeholder engagement, lower costs, higher revenues and profits, improved employee performance, and…… doing the right thing for the environment and current and future generations.
“We care about the current and future needs of our clients, our employees, our vendors, and our community,” said Darryl Hinkle, Managing Partner of Hinkle, Richter & Rhine. “We have been certified for three years and are pleased with how it has impacted how we approach decisions. We are a stronger company because of it; along with being able to do our part for the environment.”
“In 2022, while also rebuilding from the impact of the pandemic, our team was able to complete a number of projects, including the complete retrofit of our office with LEDs, recycling of old equipment, elimination of Styrofoam cups, incorporation of 20% work from home, and continued reduction of paper in all aspects of our business. Further, the Green Team has an exciting list of projects scheduled for 2023,” added Hinkle.
“Edenark Group has a 25 year relationship with Hinkle Richter & Rhine and they are a wonderful example of what the world needs more of – an organization that produces a superior product, supports its current stakeholders, shows it cares about future generations via its commitment to sustainability certification, and makes more money due to its sustainability programs,” said David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group. “When an organization executes the Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification, as Hinkle, Richter & Rhine is doing, it not only benefits the environment, but it also benefits its own operation,” added Goodman.
