Environmental Management Systems ISO14001

Are you ready to go green?

ISO 14001 2004 is an environmental management standard. It specifies a set of environmental management requirements for Environmental Management Systems. The purpose of this standard is to help all types of organisations to protect the environment, to prevent pollution, and to improve their environmental performance.

An increasing number of companies are seeking to trade only with organizations that have an Environmental Management System that meets this standard.

Our environmental consultancy can help you achieve this standard. Once contact is made, we'll discuss your requirements with you and suggest the solution that best suits your needs. After assessing your needs we will give you a fixed price quotation so that you know exactly how much your consultancy for registration will cost. Your quotation will be based upon your company profile and an assessment of your needs.

By having your organisation's Environmental Management System implemented with our help you will be making a powerful statement about your organisation's environmental credentials.

Other benefits of ISO 14001 certification include:

• Better management of environmental risks, now and in the future
• Increased access to new customers and business partners
• Demonstration of legal and regulatory compliance
• Potential for reduced public liability insurance costs
• Overall cost savings: in terms of consumption, waste and recycling

In addition, ISO 14001 is designed to be compatible with other management system standards such as ISO 9001 (Quality), OHSAS 18001 (Health and Safety) and ISO 27001 (Information Security).

What is ISO14001?

ISO 14001 was first published in 1996 and specifies the actual requirements for an environmental management system. It applies to those environmental aspects which the organization has control and over which it can be expected to have an influence.

ISO 14001 is often seen as the corner stone standard of the ISO 14000 series. However, it is not only the most well known, but is the only ISO 14000 standard against which it is currently possible to be certified by an external certification authority. Having stated this, it does not itself state specific environmental performance criteria.

This standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to:

• implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system
• assure itself of its conformance with its own stated environmental policy (those policy commitments of course must be made)
• demonstrate conformance
• ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations
• seek certification of its environmental management system by an external third party organization
• make a self-determination of conformance
