ISO 14001|EMS

Environment Management System

With the alarm of global warming and its consequences, human society has become serious about ecology and its preservation. ISO 14001 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) through dedicated technical committees representing approximately 173 countries around the world. Its purpose is to enable an organization of any type or size to develop and implement a policy committing it to the prevention of pollution, compliance with legal and other requirements, and continual improvement. Companies adopting ISO 14001 EMS are well placed against their competitors and are duly recognized at the global level. Environmental regulations are getting stricter, and so is law enforcement. Customers and shareholders increasingly demand that businesses diminish the environmental impact of their business, demonstrate what they do, and how they improve. An Environmental Management System helps your organization to be in control of and successfully manage the most significant environmental aspects, e.g. emissions, waste handling, utilization of natural resources, and energy efficiency. An ISO 14001 implementation and certification proves that your Environmental Management System has been measured against a best practice standard and found compliant.

FAQ's

Starting with your initial consultation with our ISO specialists and progressing through certification, the timeline can be as short as 15 days. However, the duration is contingent upon the size and complexity of your business. It's worth noting that we can often expedite the process and reduce costs by preparing the Documented Management System Manual on your behalf, which can also accelerate the certification for your business.

Following ISO 17021 guidelines, accredited certification bodies must provide certified organizations with certificates covering a 3-year certification cycle. Extensions beyond this timeframe are possible with the completion of necessary external audits and adherence to the certification cycle. ISO Certification, for instance, commonly issues certificates throughout a ten-year contract period.

At Company Certification, our dedication is to ensure that ISO certification remains cost-effective for all our clients.

ISO certification is reserved for organizational entities, and not for individual professionals.

A management review is a regularly scheduled meeting, occurring at least once a year, designed to facilitate the maintenance of your management system. It verifies that the system continues to meet your organization's needs and remains in compliance.

You have flexibility in determining the frequency of your management reviews based on your preferences and business needs. However, it's essential to comply with ISO requirements by conducting a minimum of one management review annually.

A management review serves as an effective means for senior management to stay connected with a business's management system and assess its performance. Other pertinent individuals may also need to attend these meetings to provide feedback on specific processes or departments within the organization. Involving a diverse representation from across the business aids senior management in obtaining a comprehensive overview of the management system's performance.

The advantages of conducting management reviews encompass:

  • Keeping senior management informed about the performance of the management system
  • Assessing the alignment of the management system with the organization
  • Reviewing and evaluating the effectiveness of the management system
  • Providing a platform for analyzing data to support evidence-based decision-making
