ISO 14000 and EMAS

Meeting the Environmental Challenge of the New Millennium - why should we bother?

Academics disagree on just how long we can continue to use up the natural resources of the earth to further the progress of civilisation, but they all agree on this simple fact 'that our present rate of growth is unsustainable unless we make significant changes to reduce our impact on the environment'.

Many businesses have found that caring for the environment and making profits can go hand in hand. In fact, companies with Environmental Management Systems have reported significant financial savings from greener working practices and improvements in customer relations.

The adoption of ISO14000 and EMAS Environmental Management Systems is rapidly spreading throughout the supply chain of several major UK and European industries.

We work in partnership with our customers to help them identify and implement business improvements.

The Business Partners provide tailored help and support to companies embarking on the implementation of Environmental Systems to ISO14000 and EMAS, including:

• Environmental awareness training
• Initial environmental review
• Facilitation of implementation and improvement project teams
• Project management
• Identification and review of Aspects and Impacts

• Audit training
• Pre-assessment audits
