Thinking about
implementing an ISO 14001 environmental management
system (EMS)? Customer requiring you to do so?
Not sure about
all of the compliance requirements?
Considering adding an EMS to your quality management
system (QMS)? That's a smart idea!
We specialize in
EMS
planning, implementation and training support.
What
about ISO 14001?
What about the
latest standard?
ISO 14001 is the international environmental
management system (EMS) standard. ISO 14401:2004 was
issued
November 15, 2004. Changes to the new standard
clarify and simplify the requirements, and align the
standard with ISO 9001:2000.
Is ISO 14001
compliance a "requirement"?
Many World Class companies are ISO 14001
certified,
and “require” their partners/suppliers to also become
ISO 14001 certified.
Ford Motor Company requires their suppliers to be ISO
14001 certified.
Does it help if your quality management
system (QMS)
is already certified?
Your
certified/accredited quality management system (QMS)
(e. g., ISO 14001, ISO 17025) may be revised to also meet ISO 14001 EMS
requirements! The QMS and EMS have many
requirements common to both QMS and EMS including document
and records
control, management responsibility and
review, corrective and preventive action, internal
auditing, and calibration and control of measuring/monitoring
devices. We think this is a smart idea!
What about
"environmental aspects?"
The key to continual improvement in meeting ISO 14001 requirements is
effective identification and ranking of all
"Environmental Aspects”. These aspects are
then evaluated for significance. The
environmental impact of "Significant Aspects" can best
be reduced by targeted, effective
action.
Our QualityAdvantage
Partners have the experience and knowledge
to effectively audit your
facility, to identify and rank Environmental Aspects,
and to reduce your firm's environmental impact.

Your organization
is very busy...
everyone wears more than one hat.
Time to implement a environmental management system is
often limited.We take less time to get you certified.
Environmental system implementation is a "team sport..." however, if your
organization does not have the time, we can deliver a turn-key system,
guaranteed to get you certified.
Our methods never include one-size-fits-all,
“cookie-cutter” approaches.
ISO 14001 environmental systems requires process
approaches, customer focus, and continual improvement. You cannot get
that from a cookie cutter.
Most importantly, our environmental management systems improve your bottom line.
“Cookie cutter” approaches do not work, and only add cost.
When we leave, the environmental
management system is yours, not ours.
We provide all the knowledge and
experience your organization needs to effectively manage and improve your
certified QMS in the future. When we are finished, your organization
owns your ISO 14001 environmental management system.
This is what we do... we would welcome the opportunity to work with you!
