Environmental Management Systems (EMS) continual improvement services
The key requirements of ISO 14001:2004 are legal compliance, to
continually improve operations and prevent pollution. Once companies
have gained ISO 14001, external assessors will visit them every six
months for surveillance visits. Consequently, businesses need to keep
improving and progressing with their EMS to maintain compliance with the
Standard.
Business Sustain can help you achieve this. We provide environmental
management advice and support, refresher training to existing staff and
training to new staff. We also review and update objectives, targets and
management programmes making sure that you have the knowledge and tools
to meet the requirements of the Standard.
