ISO 14001:2004 is the most recognised environmental management system in the world. Thousands of businesses from a wide range of sectors and of varying sizes from large multinational organisations to SME’s have recognised the benefits of greater environmental control through the uptake of ISO 14001.
The system is designed to ensure that businesses effectively understand how their activities, products, and services interact with the environment and assess these impacts for their significance. The organisation must then set a programme of environmental management controls and procedures in order to continually improve environmental performance.
The benefits of ISO 14001 are 3 fold:
Financial – Improved efficiency of resources consumed and reduction in waste and pollution leading to financial savings. Increased market competitiveness through greater environmental control.
Legal – Understand what environmental legislation applies to your organisation and how to ensure and maintain compliance. Avoid penalties, clean up costs, and loss of reputation associated with environmental non conformance.
Moral – Reduction in the organisations environmental impact and leading the business towards a sustainable future.
