ISO 14001
ISO 14001 is the international standard with requirements that an environmental management system must meet. More and more customers expect their suppliers to have a sustainability policy. The best way to achieve this is to implement an environmental management system. ISO 14001 is seen by managements as the best way to make the production process sustainable. This not only yields environmental benefits, but also the appreciation of your customers, your employees and government enforcers. In addition, a company with an ISO 14001 certificate demonstrates that it strives to prevent environmental damage and is able to continuously improve its environmental performance.
Our approach
An environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001 enables entrepreneurs to deal with sustainability in a structured and predictable way. This approach will lead to cost control by dealing more efficiently with raw and auxiliary materials. In addition, the waste stream is reduced to a minimum (cost-saving) and company waste materials are seen much more as new raw materials.
Basics
- Control of environmental risks resulting from the organization's activities.
- The continuous improvement of performance and prevention of environmental pollution.
- Compliance with applicable legal requirements.
Custom
To meet these basic requirements in a practical way, the Dienstencentrum has developed a customized ISO 14001 system. The Services Center's in-house consultants can help you with this as follows:
Enter
Your consultant will guide you in setting up your ISO 14001 environmental management system. You are assured of an environmental management system that meets the standard requirements while being specifically tailored to your company. Through the clever use of blueprint materials, combined with your own company information, you will have a certifiable ISO 14001 system in no time.
Maintain
After setting up the environmental management system, it is important to keep your system continuously updated. Your in-house consultant can take on the role of external environmental coordinator without difficulty and will help you maintain your system. You will then only need to periodically check the quality of your system.
Conducting audit
Periodically performing internal checks (internal audits) is an essential part of an ISO system. In this way, the functioning of your environmental management system is measured and timely improvement actions are identified. Organizing internal audits is the best stepping stone to certification.
Certify
You obtain the certificate after a positive external audit conducted by a certifying body. We can guide you through the external audit and thus help you obtain ISO 14001 certification.
