Win Green Tenders Achieve ISO 14001 Certification
Buyers now expect organisations to demonstrate real environmental responsibility. We help you build a simple, practical Environmental Management System that reduces waste, lowers costs, and positions your business as a sustainable supplier.
A 15-minute call to assess your environmental impact and tender requirements.
Is a Lack of Environmental Commitment Costing You Contracts?
Public sector and corporate buyers increasingly expect suppliers to prove how they manage their environmental impact. Without clear evidence, companies are losing points in tenders, facing higher operating costs, and missing opportunities. ISO 14001 provides a structured approach – but most organisations do not know where to start or what evidence auditors expect.
Failing Tenders
Losing opportunities because environmental requirements or ISO 14001 are now mandatory.
Uncontrolled Costs
High spending on fuel, energy, resources, or waste disposal with no plan to reduce it.
No Environmental Strategy
No system for measuring emissions, tracking waste, or setting clear environmental objectives.
Reputation Risk
Worry that practices such as vehicle idling, unmanaged waste, or poor recycling could harm their brand.

Book My Environmental ReviewFrequently Asked Questions
Do service based companies really need ISO 14001?
Yes. ISO 14001 is relevant to every organisation. Key environmental aspects for service companies include fleet emissions, office energy use, waste handling, recycling, equipment disposal, chemicals, packaging, and supplier impact.
Will ISO 14001 be expensive to implement?
Most environmental improvements save money. Reducing fuel use, energy waste, and resource consumption can significantly lower operating costs. Consultancy fees are always agreed in advance.
What is a legal register?
A legal register is a simple document listing all environmental laws and regulations relevant to your business, along with how you comply. ISO 14001 expects you to understand your legal obligations and maintain evidence of compliance.
Does ISO 14001 require us to stop all pollution?
No, it requires you to manage your environmental impact and commit to prevention of pollution. It's about having a system to control risks and improve performance over time, not being perfect immediately.
How does it help with tenders?
Many public sector and large corporate tenders mandate ISO 14001 or equivalent. Having it gives you maximum points in the environmental section of PQQs and bids, often giving you an edge over non-certified competitors.
Can we integrate ISO 14001 with ISO 9001?
Absolutely. Because both standards follow the "Annex SL" high-level structure, they fit together perfectly. You can have one management review, one internal audit schedule, and one set of core procedures for both.
What is an "environmental aspect"?
An "aspect" is an element of your activities that interacts with the environment (e.g., using electricity, driving vehicles). The "impact" is the result (e.g., resource depletion, air pollution). ISO 14001 asks you to identify and manage your significant aspects.
How long does certification take?
Typically 3-6 months for most SMEs. This allows time to build the documentation, implement the changes, train staff, and run the system for long enough to generate audit evidence.
Do we need an environmental manager?
Not necessarily. While someone needs to take responsibility for the system (often the Operations Manager or Quality Manager), you don't usually need a dedicated new hire. We provide the expertise you need.
Does ISO 14001 cover our suppliers?
Partially. You are expected to consider a "life cycle perspective." This means you should influence your suppliers to be more sustainable where possible, though you are not directly responsible for their operations.
What happens in an external audit?
An external auditor from a certification body (like NQA or BSI) visits to check your system. Stage 1 checks your documentation. Stage 2 checks that you are actually following your procedures in practice.
Is ISO 14001 just about recycling?
No, it's much broader. It covers energy efficiency, water use, emissions to air, noise nuisance, land contamination, legal compliance, and emergency response planning.
Does it help with Carbon Neutrality?
Yes. ISO 14001 provides the framework for measuring and reducing your carbon footprint. It is the perfect foundation for working towards Carbon Neutrality (PAS 2060) or Net Zero targets.
Do we need to rewrite all our procedures?
Rarely. We usually integrate environmental controls into your existing procedures. For example, adding a check for "spill kits" to your existing vehicle inspection checklist.
What if we have multiple sites?
Your EMS can cover all sites under a single "multi-site" certification. You usually have a central head office function that manages the system, with specific controls rolled out to each branch.
