ISO 14001 is the most widely recognised international standard that enables an organisation to demonstrate its environmental commitment to its customers, stakeholders, employees, neighbours and other interested parties in a practical and efficient way.
It enables a business to manage its environmental impacts while ensuring legal compliance, gaining financial benefits and showing commitment to sustainable development.
Forward thinking organisations with ISO 14001 accreditation have an advantage over non-certified competitors particularly at tender stage and when competing for governmental and quasi-governmental contracts.
