As it becomes increasingly more important for organisations to monitor and reduce their environmental impact, investing in ISO 14001 can help you get significantly ahead of your rivals and massively reduce costs.  Below are some of the main benefits of ISO 14001 certification:

• Save money

By implementing an effective Environmental Management System, you will soon identify ways to save on energy, waste and water. For some organisations, these savings can be significant, and often more than cover the cost of becoming ISO 14001 certified.

• Demonstrate your environmental commitment

In a rapidly changing world, there is more pressure than ever for organisations to show more environmental responsibility – whether it be from local or national government, stakeholders, clients, suppliers or the general public. Having an ISO 14001 certification shows that you have serious environmental credentials and you are committed to change.

• Expand into new sectors

Becoming ISO 14001 certified can help your organisation to bid for new contacts and tenders, especially within the public sector and green industry.  It will also aid your marketing.

• Protect yourself against future regulations

The ISO 14001 certification will help your organisation be proactive in becoming more sustainable, rather than reactive to changes in regulation and law.

• Improve your reputation and brand

The ISO 14001 certification shows that you are a forward-thinking organisation that is adapting to our changing world.

At QMS we strive to bring as many of these benefits as possible to your organisation through ISO 14001 certification. To see an example of how the ISO 14001 has benefited one of our clients you can download the Returnable Packaging Services Limited case study.
