ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Standards gives your business access to new markets.
You may be eligible for government contracts/ grants that require adherence to certain standards. Or, maybe, you’ll be able to join the supply chain of a larger company or a mega-project. These standards are recognised worldwide and can increase your credibility with customers especially in the international markets.
Environmental Protection shouldn’t be expensive.
ISO 14001:2015 is applicable to any organisation, regardless of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organisation determines it can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. ISO 14001:2015 does not state specific environmental performance criteria.
Is ISO 14001 certification right for me?
Managing your organization’s impact on the environment should be a key priority for your business, regardless of the industry you’re in. An environmental management system is a framework for making policy and process changes that help you improve your environmental performance.
In addition to being better for the environment, achieving ISO 14001 certification can also provide you with greater control over costs and other tangible benefits.
Ensure that relevant staff within your organization are trained and understand the requirements and key changes to the standard.
Identify gaps which need to be addressed to meet the new requirements and establish an implementation plan. Implement those actions and update your management system to meet the new requirements.
Evaluate the effectiveness of implementation through internal audits by ES consultants.
Steps to Certification
Complete a Quote Request Form so that we can understand your company and requirements. You can do this by completing either the online quick quote or the online formal quote.
We will use this information to accurately define your scope of assessment and provide you with a proposal for certification.
Once you’ve agreed your proposal, we will contact you to book your assessment with an ES Management Assessor. This assessment consists of two mandatory visits that form the Initial Certification Audit.
Please note that you must be able to demonstrate that your management system has been fully operational for a minimum of three months and has been subject to a management review and full cycle of internal audits.
Following a successful two stage audit, a certification decision is made by an external auditor, then certification to the required standard is issued by ES Management.
You will receive both a hard and soft copy of the certificate. Certification is valid for three years and is maintained through a programme of annual surveillance audits and a three yearly recertification audit.
Benefits of an ISO 14001 Certification
It’s right if you and your organization want to demonstrate your commitment to reducing the environmental impact of your activities and achieve the associated financial and stakeholder benefits.
Nearly any business can benefit from achieving certification to ISO 14001 standards. The certification is broad enough to offer significant benefits to organizations in any industry or sector, while still providing a specific framework for implementing relevant sustainable practices.
