Environmental Management Certification
ISO 14001
An effective environmental management system is not only good for the world, it’s good business. Gaining ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification will prove – as well as improve – your organisation’s environmental practices.
Claiming that you’re doing right by the environment is not enough; your business needs to actually do the right thing. Acting sustainably reduces the cost of energy and material consumption, while minimising waste and pollution. Being able to prove your environmental performance, as this has become a key factor for public contracts. Environmental certification can also help you win contracts and potentially save considerable cost.
Gaining ISO 14001 environmental certification will help your organisation improve your practices and control measures, whether you deliver services or products.
Telarc is New Zealand's leading green certifier for environmental management systems. Our auditors can bring value and credibility to your environmental system.
ISO 14001 integrates with other recognised management system standards such as ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 45001 (health and safety) and ISO 55001 (asset management).
Telarc’s expert team will make the experience of attaining ISO 14001 Environmental Management compliance and certification easy.
How to achieve certification
Contact Telarc using our quote request form and we will help you through the process to achieve the certification(s) your organisation strives for.
The standards can be complex, but we’ve made it easy with simplified self-evaluation checklists that break down what you need to have implemented to meet the requirements of the standard. You can use the checklist to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements to become accredited, and which gaps need to be addressed.
Once you’re satisfied that your organisation meets the requirements, Telarc will audit your systems and either issue the certification or identify non-conformances that you need to address before certification is granted.
