Improving Business and Environmental Performance through ISO 14001

 

Hosted & Funded by Peel & Shaw Consulting and SGS

 

Tuesday 13 March 2012, 09:30 – 11:30

 

Aston Customer Service Centre, Sheffield.

 

This FREE workshop will help you understand how an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) can be used to drive both commercial and environmental performance improvement in your organisation.  It has been designed specifically for senior managers in small and medium-sized businesses who: 

a)  Want to understand how ISO14001 can be implemented simply but effectively and how this can be used to create tangible business value, or 

b)  Want to maximise the value from their existing system in order to support new business development and performance goals. 

ISO 14001 is the internationally recognised standard that sets out a framework for putting an effective EMS in place.  It can be readily integrated into existing ISO systems, most notably ISO 9001. 

A recent Government commissioned study of UK SMEs who have already introduced an EMS highlighted that whilst the majority had realised net cost savings- with payback as quick as 3 months- commercial and marketing benefits translating to new turnover were of equal if not greater benefit.  BSI’s own survey data also found that over 80% of UK organizations with ISO 14001 believe that it had improved their reputation whist a similar number reported reduced risk through an increase in legislative compliance. 

The workshop will outline the growing business case for ISO 14001 as an effective mechanism for driving business performance through environmental improvement.  We will identify some of the common benefits, illustrating these through examples.  In addition to this, we will also try to lower some commonly perceived barriers to adoption, before finally offering some tips on how to start implementing an effective system.
