Controlling your impact

Environmental management – to give you control

Environmental demands on business are growing all the time. The current hot topic can change at any time and simply reacting to the latest customer demands can be time-consuming and expensive.

An environmental management system is the solution to this. It helps you understand what’s important for your business, and lets you clearly demonstrate that you are doing the right thing. You work in a planned way, moving forward a step at a time, learning as you go and fitting environmental improvement with your regular business planning.

An environmental management system is a powerful management tool. Used properly, it will help you:

• Control your bottom-line running costs

• Reduce your carbon footprint

• Gain competitive advantage

• Understand the legislation that affects you, and be confident you are operating within it

• Improve your business’s environmental performance year on year


ISO 14001 is the international Standard for environmental management systems. If you choose certification to it, you will be joining an elite group of forward-thinking companies. It can be very neatly dovetailed with other relevant systems, such as ISO 9001, BS EN 16001 and the UK certification scheme for ISO 12647-2.
