Taking responsibility for the environmental impacts of your business and managing associated risks is now a legal requirement. Without controlled measures and structured processes in place your business could potentially be subject to hefty fines or prosecution. Certify your business to the environmental management system standard, ISO 14001 today.
Based on their own positive experiences, many companies with ISO 14001 certification have asked their suppliers to demonstrate their commitment to conserving resources and decreasing their impact on the environment.
ISO 14001 can be easily integrated with ISO 9001 (quality management). An increasing number of organizations choose to implement integrated management systems, in order to take advantage of the synergies. Environmental, quality, and occupational health and safety management systems (BS OHSAS 18001) are fundamental tools of corporate management; their use demonstrates acceptance of responsibility, and the intention to prevent the waste of resources.
