Environmental credibility is becoming an important factor in national and international competitiveness.

Implementation of ISO14001 and/or EMAS requirements, which can be demonstrated by independent certification by IMS, will help your organisation to address the needs of a broad range of stakeholders and the evolving needs of society for preventing and controlling environmental impacts.  ISO14001:2004 replaces ISO14001:1996 and integrates with ISO9001:2008 and OHSAS18001:2007 reducing the repetitiveness of procedures.

ISO14001 is a specification for Environmental Management Systems, applicable to any type of organisation regardless of your size, location or the range of products and services you provide.

ISO14001 offers a common, harmonised approach for organisations to achieve and demonstrate sound environmental performance and helps to demonstrate Legal Compliance.

“typically I do not give high scores in questionnaires but I feel in this case they are necessary. I found the ISO audits an excellent opportunity to test the existing processes”

ISO14001 provides you with a way to track, manage and improve environmental performance without conflicting with your business priorities.

Using ISO14001:2004 to its full potential can cut environmental related costs from within your business, thereby increase profits. The standard helps your organisation to view the business from a different perspective and consider waste reduction processes whether this be energy or product related.

Decreasing energy costs, lowering disposal costs and treatment of solid and hazardous waste are just some of the ways companies are able to save money and reduce the environmental impacts on our world whilst remaining legally compliant.

Taking into account that ISO14001 can increase profits, increase your business opportunities, reduce waste and reduce the risk of environmental prosecution, there is no reason why your business cannot benefit from the implementation of ISO 14001:2004.  IMS is Accredited by UKAS for ISO14001:2004 (number 078).
