Environmental Reviews
ISO 14001 requires that the organisation undertakes
an environmental review of its business in order to initially determine
where it stands from an environmental point of view and to identify
areas that could be improved on or even where potential savings
could be made. A review would typically cover the following general
areas:
- Energy consumption
- Consumption of other non-renewable resources
- Waste by-products and their means of disposal
- General office type waste, disposal and recycling
- Impacts on the environment due to operations generally
The benefits that could be derived from an environmental review are:
- Identifying opportunities for reducing energy
consumption and hence costs
- Savings resulting from reductions in usage of other resources
- Alternative re-use or recycling options for
waste or by-products
- Identifying potential new revenue from innovative re-cycling opportunities
- Identifying further environmental efficiencies and reducing impacts generally
These reviews can be tailored to suit your business
and can entail an initial summary review amounting to just a couple
of hours work followed by a short report highlighting some key improvement
areas, through to a much more in depth review with more detailed
recommendations for improving your environmental performance.
Having undergone a review of this type the organisation would then
be in a very good position to move towards ISO 14001 certification
if that was the aim.
If you would like more information about
environmental reviews and ISO 14001 Consulting just email
or call for an informal
discussion, or just some advice. |

Helping to reduce costs |
Wasteful processes or even resources usage by personnel often incurs high costs which can be more easily identified and reduced using the framework provided by ISO 14001. |
