Top 3 advantages of implementing Environmental Management Systems
In our environmentally aware society, it is no longer an option for companies to ignore the impact their business is having on the environment. It is for that reason the ISO 14001 – Environmental Management standard was introduced. For companies who are looking to become ISO 14001 compliant management systems have been created in order for them to meet all the relevant ISO requirements to become certified. One such management system is ENVIRX, an integrated environmental sustainability system which enables organisations to manage the impact of the business on the environment.
Our SHEQX (Health, Safety, Environment and Quality) management solution aggregates SHEQ data in a single, auditable database and manages analysis and reporting effectively, ensuring effective compliance and a more robust approach to corporate sustainability.
Implementing a management system like ENVIRX come with a whole host of advantages, including:
Reduces environmental impact
By implementing ENVIRX, business leaders can monitor the effectiveness of ENV strategies and adjust them according to what is and isn’t working in reducing the environmental impact of the business. The environmental management system helps companies to reduce their energy use,
Marketing advantage
By implementing environmental management systems and becoming ISO 14001, your company will not only become more attractive to customers who are environmentally conscious, but it will also become attractive for tenders. This is because in many tenders having an environmental management system has become a fundamental requirement. Implementing environmental management systems can also lead to an improved public perception of the company giving your company a competitive advantage.
Reduces costs
Every business, no matter how big or small, will always try to find ways to reduce costs. When businesses implement environmental management systems, the increased level of efficiency results in reductions in the use of fuels, electricity and raw materials, therefore, saving them money. Through the environment management system businesses are also able to prevent environmental accidents, which are often expensive to resolve due to the cleanup costs and the resulting fines. Therefore the likelihood of these accidents happening is reduced, saving the company money.
