Unlocking ISO 14001 environmental management certification

Ad: Assurance, certification and inspection service specialists LRQA present a toolkit to help firms with ISO 14001 environmental management certification. 

If your organisation is thinking about ISO 14001 certification this year, this starter pack from leading assurance provider, LRQA, will give you all the information you need to take that first step.

ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management systems, helps organisations of all sizes and in any sector to manage and improve their environmental impact. Certified organisations have found that ISO 14001 gives them a non-prescriptive framework to reduce energy and water consumption, increase recycling and show that they meet regulatory or contractual requirements.

For organisations with existing ISO management systems, such as the quality management standard, ISO 9001, the shared structure and language of ISO standards can make it easier to manage their risk profile in an integrated way across different aspects of their activities such as service delivery, environmental footprint, or health & safety of their workforce.

In the toolkit, you will get access to a carefully curated content hub that will show you how an ISO 14001 environmental management system can help you identify and manage environmental aspects and impacts and build a culture of engagement and continual improvement in your organisation.

Your toolkit includes:

• Guides on the standard and certification process
• A requirements checklist
• Information on the support available
