ISO 14001 Certification Services

With the focus of society increasly on global warming and environmental impact, at both local and international level, these issues are becoming of geater importance to business.

ISO 14001 is becoming one of the world's leading international standards for environmental management, and if you want to control the environmental impact of your business, ISO 14001 accreditation is almost certainly the route to follow.

What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is an Environment Management System (EMS), which is a tool for managing the impact of an organisation's activities on the environment.  It takes a pro-active approach, and allows business to consider environmental issues before they become a problem, rather than reacting to them afterwards.

ISO 14001 exists to allow businesses to establish those operations that have a negative impact on the environment and to minimise their unwanted effects as determined necessary.

So these standards can be a powerful tool for businesses to both improve their environmental performance, and enhance their business efficiency.

What are the benefits of ISO 14001 Certification?

• Cost effective – reduces utility bills and waste streams
• Higher control of risk and better planning
• Ensures compliance with environmental legislation
• Builds awareness of the environment among employees
• Improved corporate image with customers and the public
• Reduce environmental liability
• Removes a barrier to working with government bodies, local authorities and larger commercial businesses who often prefer their suppliers to be ISO14001 registered.

ISO 14001 Accreditation with JR Consultants

We will work with you to design, document, implement and operate a simple environmental management system (EMS0 which meets all the accreditation requirements of ISO 14001.

We will design the system around your existing business and environmental practices whereever possible, helping you to establish the necessary controls to ensure you are in compliance with relevant legislation, and enabling you identify and attend to areas where you do not comply to the ISO 14001 accreditation standard.

Once the system has been implemented, we will recommend you for the initial audit visit from a UKAS accredited external assessment body.  We will then arrange for your system to be fully audited by one of our own auditors, and the final ISO 14001 external assessment will usually take place within 3 months of the initial audit visit (depending upon the external assessment body).
