Environmental Management Systems (EMS) & ISO 14001
All companies should be embedding the environment into their business processes. An environmental management system (EMS) is a system to actively manage your environmental impacts. This can be a simple system, or something more formal, developed to the international standard ISO 14001.
Your ISO 14001 certification means your customers won’t have to audit you – make it easy for them to buy from you.
EMS – Environmental Management Systems – ISO 14001
Eshcon will develop the Environmental Management System (EMS), advising on the stages of EMS implementation, conducting reviews, developing documentation, agreeing roles and responsibilities, establishing performance management systems and training staff. I will help with progression to ISO 14001 certification, and the ongoing management of the system.

If you’re concerned about the cost of certification, put in the ISO 14001 EMS now and when your clients ask you for it, proceed with getting the EMS certified. Otherwise, you’ll risk duplication of effort.
