ISO 14001 is the so-called environmental management standard. It regulates processes in a company that have a direct impact on the natural environment, such as the consumption and utilization of natural resources, management of industrial waste and sewage, and energy consumption. ISO 14001 is implemented in both small and large companies engaged in manufacturing, processing, or services.
Implementation and certification of an environmental management system are the first steps towards continuous improvement in activities aimed at environmental protection. ISO 14001 covers:
- Development and definition of environmental policy.
- Identification of environmental aspects and assessment of their impact on the environment.
- Development of procedures to meet established goals.
- Periodic reviews of the environmental management system.
Our clients opt for ISO 14001 certification due to their concern for the natural environment in which they operate. From experience, we know that the implementation of environmental management systems brings numerous benefits, supporting the company’s operations and positively impacting relationships with society.
ISO 14001 certification is often a key element in building the positive image of our clients, who want to be perceived as organizations aware of the hazards arising from their activities. Suppliers are more willing to collaborate with companies that demonstrate responsibility towards the natural environment.
A company holding the ISO 14001 certification gains a competitive advantage, demonstrating its commitment to environmental protection. Certification of the environmental management system will make your company a more valuable contractor and a reliable business partner.
Furthermore, ISO 14001 certification is frequently required by various institutions and facilitates obtaining many decisions and permits necessary for local commercial and production activities.
