Setting a Green Standard with ISO 14001
3:43

Communing with nature is a wonderful thing. And a natural element of any progressive environmental or green strategy. So is implementing an EMS. Setting a 'green standard' is a move that has seen multiple Irish and UK businesses reap reductions in their energy costs by up to a whopping 30%.

Another not insignificant benefit gained from implementing an EMS is the eligibility to compete for contracts barred to suppliers without certifiable environmental standards.

While a large proportion of the multi-nationals and large organisations based on these islands have environmental management systems in place, many of the small and medium sized businesses have have yet to go green.

By setting a green standard - ISO 14001 - firms publicly demonstrate their commitment to the environment. ISO 14001 identifies those businesses striving to make an environmental impact, set improvement targets, and roll out the management programme required to achieve them.

Currently, over 300,000 businesses across 170+ countries have invested in the international environmental management standard.
