Our Exemplar Global accredited auditors help companies set up Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) and achieve certification to ISO 14001. ISO 14001 is the principal management system standard which specifies the requirements for the formulation and maintenance of an EMS.
We help companies conduct internal environmental audits and control their environmental footprint, reduce their environmental impact and ensure they have achieved legal compliance with all relevant regulations, by keeping their EM systems up to date.
We understand that management systems are there to make businesses better without creating an administrative burden for personnel.
Our lead auditors have worked in large corporations and have been business managers in smaller organisations. We also help companies develop construction environment management plans (CEMPs) for small to large construction projects to ensure compliance with regulations, approval conditions and licence conditions. Through our associated lead quality and safety auditors we can also help with integrated management systems.
