ISO14001 - Embracing the
issue of the environment
in your business

The fact is ISO standards are voluntary. There is no requirement in ISO Standards for you to be externally audited. The ISO simply demand that you evidence that audits take place covering each clause of the standard.

However, having ISO certification demonstrates that your organisation’s environmental management system has been independently audited and meets the requirements of ISO14001 which can benefit your organisation in competitive pitches.

The main aim of ISO14001 is to help you control your organisation’s environmental impact. It does this by implementing a framework of processes that help you to identify, assess, manage and monitor your business’ operations. By following these procedures, you can work towards reducing waste, improving resource efficiency and lowering costs.

ISO14001 has two primary goals:

With the right preparation and a good understanding of what is required for ISO14001, most organisations can expect to achieve certification within 3 to 6 months depending on their size and complexity.

We are at the forefront of using the latest innovations to make the certification process as efficient as possible, therefore increasing the productivity of employees. Our ISO14001 certification service is also designed to deliver significant cost savings over the life span of your environmental management system by reducing the number of audit days on site.

By using a combination of free, easy-to-use, technology we enable real-time collaboration whether staff are working on-site, at multiple locations or working from home. Rather than have a lot of time intensive face-to-face meetings co-workers can share screens, documents, join meetings and stream high-quality video to enable real-time collaboration. In general, annual certification will cost £1k-£1.3

ISO (the International Standards Organisation) do not demand or promote UKAS certification.  In fact, they recognise and acknowledge that organisations can self-certify, or obtain independent verification to demonstrate that standards are being met.

Non UKAS providers (NDC) help achieve the same objective with less bureaucracy and greater efficiency as they are free to innovate and adapt and work independently of UKAS and the EU.
