Environmental

Environmental impact is becoming an increasingly important issue across the globe, with pressure to minimize the impact coming from a number of sources: local and national governments, regulators, trade associations, customers, employees, shareholders and stakeholder.

Local pressures are also building up from a number of interested parties. E.g. Consumer, Environmentalists and Non-Governmental Organisations.

ISO 14001 is relevant to every organization.

ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that provides a framework for managing environmental responsibilities and sets out the processes to implement an effective Environmental Management System (EMS). The standard is designed to address the balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact; with the commitment of the entire organization with the integration of ISO 9001 QMS, your organisation can maintain profitability and reduce the environment impact.

What’s in ISO 14001:

  • General requirements
  • Environmental policy
  • Planning implementation and operation
  • Checking and corrective action
  • Management review

This means you can identify aspects of your business that impact on the environment and understand those environmental laws that are relevant to your organisation. The next step is to produce objectives for improvement and a management programme to achieve them, with regular reviews for continual improvement. We can periodically assess your EMS for compliance to ISO 14001 Standard.
