Why consider ISO 14001 Environmental Management?

The cost of doing business continues to grow at an alarming rate. Waste disposal, energy and fuel costs are impacting on competitiveness and increasing legal contraints tie up valuable management and resource time. The simple adminstrative effort required to demonstrate compliance to the environmental legislation is a growing challenge.

Apart from financial costs, the negative impact an organisation from prosecution incidents, fines, clean up or remediation costs can be devastating.

 

What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised environmental management standard. ISO 14001:2004 (current version of ISO 14001) provides a set of standardised requirements for an environmental management system (EMS).

 

ISO 14001 provides a framework for environmental management best practice to help organisations prevent pollution, minimise environmental footprint, conform to environmental legislation and develop their business in a sustainable manner.

 

ISO 14001 has almost become a basic requirement for trade in all sectors of industry, as organisations are more than ever reviewing their supply chain to mitigate against environmental risk and ensure sustainability.
