Prince’s offer complete support for businesses wanting to achieve ISO 14001 certification.
Our consultants can do the following:
Your organisation will need to designate an ISO 14001 Management Representative, commonly known as the Environmental Manager. This key individual is charged with achieving and maintaining ISO 14001 certification. As such, they must be well-acquainted with the ISO 14001:2015 standard, understand its requirements, and know how to implement them effectively within your organisation.
This representative must possess adequate authority to initiate and modify operational processes across the company.
For businesses operating across multiple sites, it is advisable to appoint local management representatives at each location to manage the day-to-day operations of the environmental management system.
At Prince’s, we provide a tailored service to support and enhance the skills of your existing management representatives. Our extensive experience across various certifications allows our consultants to deliver comprehensive training on a broad spectrum of audit requirements. This includes training in integrated systems and internal auditing of ISO standards.
Furthermore, your designated representative has the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by working directly alongside our expert consultants, offering a practical alternative to formal training sessions.
This approach ensures your representative is not only prepared to manage your environmental system effectively but also equipped with the knowledge and skills to enhance your organisation’s environmental performance and compliance.
While a gap analysis is not compulsory, many organisations find it immensely beneficial to assess their readiness for an ISO 14001 audit. This strategic evaluation helps to ascertain compliance levels and identify any existing gaps in your environmental management system.
The insights derived from a gap analysis can pinpoint precisely where your implementation efforts need to be focused, facilitating the development of a more precise ISO implementation plan that incorporates accurate requirements and realistic target dates.
At Prince’s, we are equipped to support your internal representative by conducting a thorough gap analysis report. Our consultants will not only outline the findings but also clarify the specific actions required to bridge any gaps and achieve ISO 14001 certification.
Alternatively, we offer bespoke training for your internal representative to deepen their understanding of the gaps identified. This collaborative approach allows us to work alongside your representative, helping them to address and resolve these gaps effectively.
