UNI EN ISO 14001 certification is the document that demonstrates a company’s ability to apply standards aimed at reducing waste and polluting gas emissions.
In addition to reducing their environmental impact, these companies pay particular attention to so-called ‘life cycle thinking’, an approach whereby the possible environmental impacts of products and/or services are taken into consideration from the stage of sourcing raw materials through to final disposal or recovery: the entire production cycle, from start to finish.
What is it for?
- Improved reputation and relations with stakeholders
- Access to subsidised public funding
- Competitive positioning on the domestic and international market
- Participation in public tenders.
Bringing a company into line with the 14001 system is not a simple process, let alone an automatic one.
It often requires a change in the production mindset of the management and its members, and a training programme is almost always needed to reach the new standards.
