ISO 14001 Certification

What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is now established as the most widely accepted and certified ‘Environmental Management Standard’ in the world and is used by companies of all sizes and in all sectors and markets. It is the international standard that specifies a process for controlling and improving an organisation's environmental performance. Essentially, certification to ISO 14001 enables companies to meet their ‘environmental management’ and ‘customer requirement’ needs more efficiently and effectively.

This standard is particularly relevant to organisations that wish to:

• Implement, maintain and improve their environmental management system
• Ensure they comply with relevant environmental laws and regulations
• Gain certification for their environmental management system by an independent, external third party organisation
• Ensure they are conforming with their commitment to comply with stated environmental policy
• Be able to demonstrate their conformance

Research shows that ISO 14001 registered companies gain an ‘immediate competitive advantage’ over their rivals, and consistently achieve higher sales and profits.
