ISO 14001 Certification

ACCREDITED BY: NACAB, DAKKS, JAS-ANZ, ANAB

What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is internationally recognised as the leading environmental management system (EMS) standard and is suitable for organisations of all sizes. ISO 14001 EMS standard allows organisations to integrate environmental management practices by supporting environmental protection, preventing pollution, minimising waste, and reducing energy and materials consumption.

The ISO 14001 standard provides a systematic framework for integrating environmental management practices by supporting environmental protection, pollution prevention, waste minimisation, as well as energy and materials consumption reduction.

By achieving ISO 14001 certification, an organisation demonstrates to stakeholders its commitment to measure environmental impact and to strive for continuous improvement. In addition to implementing ISO 14001, many organisations choose to further improve their environmental performance management by enacting the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).

Why is environmental management important?

Organisations certified to ISO 14001 demonstrate their commitment to continuous improvement and reduced environmental impact. The certificate can significantly improve your bargaining position when taking part in public and private green procurement tenders. As consumers become increasingly aware of environmental and ecological issues, ISO 14001 certification helps your brand stand out as a responsible provider.

Companies implementing the ISO 14001 EMS aim to minimise wastage, from materials to energy consumption, throughout the supply chain, thereby reducing cost.

Beyond demonstrating that your organisation is committed to sustainability, ISO 14001 certification may also reduce the risk of regulatory and environmental liabilities. With the help of the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, organisations can significantly reduce the risk of regulatory and environmental liability fines, as well as reduce costs, improve staff morale and boost brand reputation.
