On January 21, 2019, HERSILL obtained ISO-14001 certification, the international standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS), which helps your organization identify, prioritize and manage environmental risks, as part of its normal business practices.
Increasingly, organizations, regardless of their activity, size or geographical location, have to meet more environmental requirements imposed by government, clients and society at large. Therefore, it is essential to use tools that integrate the environment into the overall management of the company.
The implementation of an Environmental Management System according to UNE-EN ISO 14001 offers you the possibility to systematize, in a simple way, the environmental aspects that are generated in each of the activities that are carried out in the organization, as well as to promote environmental protection and pollution prevention from a point of view of balance with socio-economic aspects.
Thanks to the implementation of an Environmental Management System according to the international standard ISO 14001, your organization will position itself as socially responsible, differentiating itself from the competition and strengthening, in a positive way, its image vis-à-vis customers and consumers.
Among other environmental benefits, it will optimize the management of resources and waste, reduce the negative environmental impacts resulting from its activity or those risks associated with accidental situations.
In terms of economic benefits, in addition to boosting innovation and productivity, your organisation will have the potential to reduce waste management costs or insurance premiums, remove barriers to exports, reduce the risk of litigation and sanctions, increase access to subsidies and other preferential funding lines, or reduce employment risks by motivating staff.
WHY IS ISO 14001 IMPORTANT TO YOUR BUSINESS
ISO 14001 certification offers a range of benefits for your organisation:
- Reduce costs: As ISO 14001 requires a commitment to continuous improvement of the GHS, setting improvement targets helps the organisation to use raw materials more efficiently, thus helping to reduce costs.
