An integrated ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management system

Supercharge your team’s efficiency with one integrated system

Built to serve businesses, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are robust systems designed to support quality and environmental management.

Concise, uniform structures make them ideal partners for working alongside each other. And thanks to their straightforward language, every member of your team will understand the business practices you put in place.

This means you can shape up your business, drive improvement, and enjoy the prestige of internationally recognised Standards – all without wasteful extra effort.

Why integrate ISO 9001 & ISO 14001?

ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are highly compatible and can truly help a business improve its quality while reducing its environmental impact.

At their core, these two ISOs boast a common framework, known as the Annex SL structure, which means their clauses are presented in the same order and format.

By integrating these ISOs, you can create a single documented and managed system. This allows you to easily implement changes and improvements across your business following the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, minimising the possibility of negative impacts later down the line.

  • Plan: Owners are clearly defined; leaders take responsibility and processes are documented and well communicated. 

  • Do: Training needs are identified and met, while resources are effectively allocated during operation. 

  • Check: Regular checks are conducted to inspect the system’s effectiveness, with risks and failings identified and documented. 

  • Act: Beneficial improvements are rolled out through the single, integrated system and excellence is achieved through compliance best practice insights.    

By reducing the time it takes to manage compliance across a range of areas and employing just one IMS manager, you can take control of excellence and enhance deliverability.

You will also gain control of your compliance 24/7 through our digital management system platform, Atlas ISO. This comes with the additional benefits of built-in document controls, digital templates and automated task management.

Crossovers and contrasts between the ISOs

The ISO 9001 quality management system shares plenty of crossovers with the ISO 14001 environmental management system. In addition to a strong customer focus and the implementation of effective business practices for consistency and quality, the roles of leaders and the need for monitoring and assessment are required by both.

While both ISO 9001 and 14001 share similarities, there are a few key differences between them. One revolves around enhancing processes and services, while the other centres on a business’ commitment to environmental responsibility. Check the table below for more details.

Of course, it’s also possible to combine other ISOs that share the common Annex SL structure. To find out more, visit our dedicated pages on the ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 integrated system and the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and 45001 integrated packages.

3 Steps to Certification

Getting to grips with the gaps

We’ll spend some time with you carrying out a gap analysis to see how your current processes and procedures match up to the requirements of the ISO Standard. And we’ll collect details of the areas that already do so we can create your bespoke management system for you in our smart online hub, Atlas.

Getting up to Standard

Now it’s time to make any changes. With handy reminders to help you keep on track of tasks and editable templates at your fingertips, you can make sure all the records you need are in place to achieve certification.

Getting ISO certification

An ISO auditor will check you’ve addressed any gaps correctly and that you’re following the documented processes. Once everything is in place, you’ll be recommended for certification. Your new certificate and certification marks will be ready to download from Atlas.
