Understanding ISO 14001

ISO 14001 is the globally recognized environmental management system (EMS) standard. It provides organizations a comprehensive framework to identify, manage, and continually improve their environmental performance. The benefits of ISO 14001 include enhanced ecological sustainability, compliance with regulations, and a positive brand image. However, achieving ISO 14001 compliance can be a rewarding yet effortful journey.

In 2008, they achieved ISO 14001 certification, and it made a remarkable difference in their business. Certification allowed them to document their method effectively, ensuring every staff member could standardize the quality of work at every site.

ISO 14001 certification also boosted their competitiveness through more accurate quality control and strengthened their confidence in their method by demonstrating a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to concrete replacement. It also increased staff engagement and motivation, as the team knew they were positively impacting the environment through their products and services. (International Standard Organisation, 2015)
