ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that sets out how we go about putting in place an effective Environmental Management System (EMS). The standard is designed to address the delicate balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact with the commitment of our company and enables us to achieve both objectives.

What’s in ISO 14001:

• General requirements
• Environmental policy
• Planning implementation and operation
• Checking and corrective action
• Management review

This means we can identify aspects of our company that impact on the environment and understand those environmental laws that are relevant to our situation. The next step is to produce objectives for improvement and a management programme to achieve them, with regular reviews for continual improvement.
