Environmental Management Systems – ISO 14001

ISO 14001 is an international standard that helps companies to control their environmental impact and achieve sustainable development and growth. The implementation and certification of an environmental management system demonstrates that a company is complying with current environmental legislation and assessing and minimising environmental risks.

The standard helps companies to reduce waste, save energy and boost their reputation with clients and suppliers. By implementing and certifying to the ISO 14001 standard, a company is able to create an efficient environmental management system which demonstrates its commitment to sustainable development.

Key Benefits of ISO 14001:

• Reduces quality-related costs by guaranteeing compliance with environmental legislation
• Allows a company to identify and improve quality-related aspects through a risk assessment of its environmental processes
• Strengthens the relationships between departments as a result of the leadership and staff involvement required to implement the standard
• Boosts access to new markets that value corporate environmental responsibility
• Improves a company’s image by publicly demonstrating its environmental commitment

ISO 14001 can apply to any company, regardless of its size, sector or geographical location. By implementing the standard, a company will ensure that its environmental management system offers added value to the business.
