ISO 14001 certification

Why obtain ISO 14001 certification?

ISO 14001 certification is recommended because of the benefits it offers:
It enhances your image and credibility.
If your contracts or tenders require ISO 14001 certification, then this is an obvious benefit. It also enhances your reputation. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental management practices of the companies they buy from.
Improved cost control. Identify, monitor and reduce environmental incidents. These can result in liability costs in the form of fines, clean-up costs and repairs. Furthermore, continuous improvement helps to reduce costs, for example energy costs or those arising from waste reduction.
Helping you meet legal requirements. ISO 14001 certification requires you to identify, monitor and comply with applicable environmental requirements. Compliance with legal, regulatory and contractual requirements thereby enhances your reputation and credibility.
Greater success in implementing changes. The ISO 14001 standard requires environmental monitoring and measurement. It makes it easier to track improvements through effective data collection. When deviations are detected, corrective actions are taken to address problems and recover more quickly. It helps save time and money.
Facilitate continuous process improvement. It helps to engage staff in identifying opportunities for improvement and in establishing and implementing the improvements identified. Continuous improvement helps to enhance your public image and reduce costs, as well as helping your employees to find new and better ways to reduce your environmental impact and save time and resources.
Reducing staff turnover. Under the ISO 14001 quality certification, employees who are involved in initiatives to reduce the company’s environmental footprint are more committed to other aspects of the business. Given the choice between working for a company that demonstrates care and concern for the environment and one that does not, most people would prefer the former.
Certified by a reputable, accredited ISO certification body. If you wish to achieve environmental excellence, you can obtain EMAS verification or ISO 50001 energy efficiency certification, ISO 14006 eco-design certification, a GHG report or an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
The ultimate aim of the ISO 14001 environmental management certificate is to identify and control the environmental impact of your activities, products and services. To continuously improve your environmental performance.

What is ISO 14001?

The ISO 14001 standard specifies the requirements for an environmental management system. The system is used to manage environmental aspects, meet compliance obligations and address risks and opportunities.

The ISO 14001 standard is based on a framework of continuous improvement: planning, implementation, monitoring and review, and action.
