Compliant gets behind ‘Recycle Week 2021’: Implementing ISO 14001 certification

It’s the 18th official ‘Recycle Week’ and the theme this year which is launched by resources charity WRAP is ‘Recycle Now’. This year’s campaign will focus on encouraging citizens to recycle more in the fight against climate change.

The week, which aims to raise awareness about sustainability, runs from Monday, September 20th until Sunday, September 26^th.

We are encouraging individuals and businesses alike to become greener and get involved in this year’s ‘Recycle Week’.

The UK’s current recycling saves 18 million tonnes of C02 every year, which is the same as taking 12 million cars off the road.

Last year on ‘Global Recycling Day’ we shared an article on how eco-friendly living can be promoted in your office.

This year Compliant is asking businesses to show their commitment to the environment and build trust with customers and other stakeholders by investing in a UKAS accredited ISO 14001certification.

Today we look at what the journey to ISO 14001 looks like. ISO 14001 sets the standard for Environmental Management Systems and is becoming more and more popular and a favoured certification to implement alongside the management system standard for quality, ISO 9001.

So, what will Compliant help an organisation with when getting started with ISO 14001?

Firstly, we will help you to understand where your environmental management system may need work in order to be certified through a FREE Gap Analysis
Our BSI trained lead auditor will then review your business processes and guide you through what procedures need to be implemented and what frameworks you need in place
Then we will effectively implement your environmental management system with the support of our audit, incident and compliance tools

You will need to know which parts of your business have environmental aspects, and what their impacts are. Examples of environmental aspects can include:

use of resources such as energy or water
use of recycled materials
air emissions to air via smoke or fumes
disposal of waste materials, including wastewater
any potential for pollution, including risks of leaks, spills, etc.

Post audit we offer ongoing support packages to ensure that you stay compliant throughout the year.

The pressure on businesses to improve green credentials and encouragement to adopt more planet-friendly ways of working has prompted companies of all sizes to review their operational strategies. That’s where we come in!
