What is ISO14001?
The International environmental standard ISO14001 has the aim of guiding businesses who want to retain profitability while also reducing the impacts of their activities on the environment.
It achieves these aims through setting out the necessary steps and elements to set up an Environment Management System (EMS).
It has been developed in response to much more stringent legislation and the increasing concern of governments and stakeholders internationally that businesses should control the impact of their activities on the environment.
What are the benefits of being an Environmentally certified company?
Increasingly organisations may require certification to ISO14001 as a condition of a contract with a customer.
However organisations may seek certification to the Environmental standard for many other reasons. Some of these include:
- Meet legal and regulatory requirements
Gives customers confidence that your organisation is meeting its legal and regulatory compliance obligations. - Attract investment
Certification to ISO14001 can also be used as a marketing tool and has the ability to attract more and different types of customers and contracts to the business. - Manage and prevent risks
Helps in managing and diminishing environmental risks now and in the future and therefore potentially delivering significant cost savings. - Community and Environmental reputation
Indicates a desire to demonstrate environmental leadership and commitment to customers and stakeholders and can improve the standing and reputation of the organisation in the market place and in the community.
- Meet legal and regulatory requirements
