Environmental Management System (ISO 14001)

An Environmental Management System (EMS) meeting the requirements of ISO 14001 enables an organisation of any size or type to identify and control the environmental impact of its business and to continually improve its environmental performance. ISO 14001 is the internationally-recognised standard for Environmental Management Systems and is recognised by clients, suppliers, insurers and other organisations with an understanding of the importance of environmental management. Implementing this systematic approach to setting environmental objectives and achieving them demonstrates a commitment to the environment, and can bring specific business benefits.

What are the benefits?

An Environmental Management System provides a number of benefits including:

  • Environmental legislation compliance;
  • Reduced energy bills through the effective management and reduction of energy usage;
  • Reduced water consumption, saving on both clean water costs and the associated waste water bill;
  • Reduced purchasing costs through the elimination of waste and reducing the use of consumables;
  • Reduced waste disposal costs through re-use and recycling strategies;
  • Improved competitiveness through reduced costs and improved efficiencies;
  • Improved corporate social responsibility image and protection of reputation;
