ISO 14001 (EMS) Environmental Management System
ISO 14001 is the internationally recognized standard for the environmental management of businesses, prescribing controls for those activities that have an effect on the environment.
We’re here for you if you’re starting on your journey to certification for the first time, looking for consultancy support, or thinking about transferring from your current Certification Body.
What is ISO 14001 certification?
Certification to ISO 14001 demonstrates that your organization is committed to environmental improvement and is proactively working to minimize its impact on the environment, for example by producing less waste, in the way it treats and handles waste, in increasing energy efficiency and in its use of natural resources.
It also brings commercial advantages by enhancing the organization’s public image. With many public and private sectors making ISO 14001 a requirement for those it works with, the standard will sharpen an organization’s competitive edge when seeking public and private sector tenders or applying for inclusion in the supply chain.
Continual improvement is built into all management systems standards, therefore ISO 14001 drives environmental improvements on an ongoing basis, leading to further cost savings and operational efficiency.
Why choose ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 enables you to:
-Cost savings through improved efficiency, increased productivity, and reduced waste. Assists with legal compliance which reduces the risk of prosecution.
-Control reputational risk by demonstrating that you are committed to protecting the environment and have the appropriate control.
