Recognition highlights an industry-leading push towards sustainability and eco-friendly manufacturing
HUNT VALLEY, MARYLAND / ACCESS Newswire / February 24, 2025 / Beynon Sports, a global leader in high-performance track and field surfacing, announced today that it has been awarded ISO 14001 certification, the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). This milestone underscores Beynon's ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices, which have earned the trust of renowned track and field programs, world-class venues, and municipalities across the globe.
The ISO 14001 certification demonstrates the company's adherence to operational standards that minimize environmental impact while maintaining superior quality and safety. Beynon's eco-friendly manufacturing processes complement the development of high-performance, durable surfaces that support athletes and communities worldwide.
This recognition of Beynon Sports' industry-leading environmental stewardship follows the recent reissuing of the company's ISO 9001 certification. Beynon has held its ISO 9001 certification, a globally recognized standard for quality management, since February 2015.
Every Beynon track is produced at its advanced manufacturing facility in Hunt Valley, Maryland. The reputation of the facility-already one of the few in the industry to have its Quality Management Systems certified to ISO 9001-is further bolstered by its new ISO 14001 status.
"We are proud to add ISO 14001 to our certifications, alongside ISO 9001, reinforcing our team's focus on responsible manufacturing and environmental best practices," said Michael Gasparovic, VP of Plant Operations and R&D, Beynon Sports. "Sustainability is not just a priority-it's an integral part of how we operate, innovate, and deliver world-class surfaces for athletes."
A Track Record of Sustainability
The certifications are part of Beynon's long track record of achieving the highest industry standards in its manufacturing process and corresponding products.
In June 2020, 14 Beynon track systems obtained GreenGuard Gold certification-the highest level available through the leading program committed to global sustainability, environmental health, and safety. Then, in 2022, eight Beynon products received USDA BioPreferred® Certification.
Last year, Beynon earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product Label for its BEYPUR™ 320-Bio and BEYPUR™ 340-Bio polyurethane binder products. The label highlights Beynon's commitment to sustainability while providing customers with a verified indicator of its products' renewable, biobased materials.
