The ISO 14000 Environmental Management System series is increasingly becoming a requirement when tendering for large corporate and governmental contracts. It not only adds value to your organisation but is also frequently a differentiating factor when comparing your organisation against your competition!
What is ISO 14000?
ISO 14000 is a series of international standards on environmental management. It provides a framework for the development of an environmental management system (EMS) and the supporting audit program.
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is the corner stone standard of the ISO 14000 series. It specifies a framework of control for an Environmental Management System against which an organisation can be certified by a third party.
Why does my business need ISO 14001 certification?
As well as the tendering requirement, Becoming certified against ISO 14001 demonstrates to your stakeholders that you have a vested interest in the environmental impact of your business and are actively looking to reduce your environmental impact.
Becoming certified not only adds value to your business but also is often a requirement when putting in tenders for various jobs.
For certification you will carry out the following:
- Identify and control the environmental impact of your business activities, products or services.
- Continually improve your environmental performance.
- Implement a systematic approach to setting environmental objectives and targets, achieving these and then demonstrating that they have been achieved.
