                                            ISO 14001:2015 – Certification for the Environment

                                                                An Environmental Management System

 

ISO 14001 provides requirements for environmental management systems (EMS). The intent of a formal environmental management system is to minimize your company’s negative impact on the environment and accentuate the positive environmental impact through EMS controls and continual improvement. While many companies pursue ISO 14001 certification as a stand-alone certification to demonstrate a more eco-friendly approach to business, some companies will seek ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certification together with a combined Integrated Management System. We offer both. You can download our information sheet to learn more.

What is ISO14001?


ISO 14001 is an international standard for Environmental Management that outlines the requirements for an environmental management system. It can help organisations improve their environmental performance by using resources more efficiently and reducing waste, which can lead to a competitive advantage and increased trust from stakeholders.


This standard is designed for any type of organisation and can provide assurance to management, employees, and external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.


Certification usually takes 6-8 months. By implementing an effective ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, organisations can reduce pollution, minimise waste, and use raw materials and energy more efficiently, among other benefits.
