ISO 14001 Benefits

What are the benefits of certification?

The ISO 14001 Standard will show your organisation how to minimise its environmental impact. In doing so, ISO 14001 can improve your efficiency, reduce operational costs and help you win new business. 

Implementing the ISO 14001 guidance in full, can also ensure your business complies with environmental laws and regulations in the UK and EU.

Benefits for your organisation:

• Cost savings – by reducing wasted resources such as energy and water you will reduce your costs.
• Use less energy – through energy efficiency improvements made across your product life cycle.
• Improved corporate image – by showing you are a responsible employer you can increase your credibility and win new customers.
• Reduced environmental impact – through monitoring and controlling your processes where they could affect the ecosystem.
• Compliance with legislation – implementing ISO 14001 means that your organisation understands and can prove that it complies with applicable environmental legislation.
• Reduced legals costs – through compliance with environmental legislation you may experience reduced costs for public liability insurance and fewer fines or prosecutions.

Benefits for your customers:
