ISO 14001:2015

• Cost savings through improving efficiency, productivity and reducing waste. It assists legislative compliance which reduces risk and can reduce insurance costs.
• Control reputational risk by demonstrating that you are committed to protecting the environment and have the appropriate control measures in place.
• Enables management of environmental performance by identifying and controlling environmental impact. This can be measured on an ongoing basis for further improvements.

It also brings commercial advantages by enhancing the organisation’s public image. With many public and private sectors making ISO 14001 a requirement for those it works with; the standard will sharpen an organisation’s competitive edge when seeking public and private sector tenders or applying for inclusion in the supply chain. Continual improvement needs to be built into all management systems standards, therefore ISO 14001 drives environmental improvements on an ongoing basis, leading to further cost savings and operational efficiency.
