Help with ISO 14001 requirements
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organisation can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements.
Start with what your customer needs
Share the relevant part of the tender, contract or customer request. Include your deadline and any records you already have.
Build on what is already in place
The starting point is your current work and records. From there, we can discuss the gaps, the help needed and the tasks your business will handle.
A practical plan for your business
We review your current environmental processes and records, explain what is already in place and show which parts need more work.
We then help your business document its system and help staff understand the documents they will use and who keeps them up to date. Before the certification audit, we review the agreed preparation tasks with you.
How certification works
Before starting, agree on who does each task and what documents will be delivered.
Know who does each part
PWC acts as a representative of two certification bodies, both members of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). We prepare and document your system; the certification body carries out the independent audit and issues the certificate.
Your business puts the agreed processes into practice and keeps the records. Our quote sets out our role and what the certification body handles.
Common questions
What is an environmental management system?
It’s the framework ISO 14001 sets out for managing your environmental responsibilities. The standard sets requirements for the system, not specific environmental performance targets.
Who carries out the ISO 14001 audit?
An independent certification body. PWC is a representative of two IAF-member certification bodies. We prepare you, and the certification body audits and issues the certificate.
Do we have to start from scratch?
No. We review your current environmental processes and records and build on what’s already in place.
