Stepping Stone to ISO 14001 or Other Standards
If you have a longer-term objective of achieving an ISO14001 environmental certification (or EMAS etc.), €coMerit is an excellent way of making real and fast progress with minimal cost and effort.
This can be especially important if, for example;
- Funding is not available for extensive consultancy support
- In-house resources are limited
- There is outside pressure (e.g. a customer expectation) to provide credible evidence of responsible environmental management.
€coMerit shares the same core requirements as all recognised standards for environmental management systems, including ISO14001, EMAS and BS8555. For this reason it is well placed as a stepping stone to get you to your longer term objectives.
You will achieve;
- The normal €coMerit benefits, including savings in your energy, waste and water costs
- An €coMerit certification as interim proof of your commitment to environmental performance improvement
- The foundations for your chosen final certification
- A documented history of environmental responsibility which will stand well to you when it comes to your chosen final certification
