ISO 14001 Environmental Management System

There are many reasons for organisations to implement an Environmental Management System, not least the reduced risk of failing to comply with legislation:

BENEFITS OF HAVING AN ISO 14001 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Reduce waste and increase efficiency.

An improved working environment.

Minimise the impact of your organisation on the local environment.

Taking a systematic view of environmental impacts and prioritising actions enables you to focus time and resources towards the most significant impacts and set realistic action plans for their improvement, leading to many benefits for your organisation including:

Creating a framework for continual environmental improvement.

Assuring customers and the public of your commitment to meeting environmental responsibilities.

Improving relations with regulators.

Enhancing your market image or opening up new markets.

Meeting customer criteria for approved supplier lists.

Reducing raw material and utility costs through improved process efficiency.

Reducing the risk of environmental incidents occurring and minimising their impact.

Improving staff morale through involvement in environmental improvement initiatives.

Organisations registered to ISO 14001 have seen significant reductions in environmental impacts, costs, energy usage and in many cases have become ‘preferred suppliers’, giving them an edge over their competitors.
