Unfortunately, no matter what we do we always damage the environment. And naturally you’ll do everything possible to keep this to a minimum within your company. But environmental criteria are also becoming more stringent and obtaining permits more difficult.  “The polluter pays” principle is embedded in legislation and regulatory procedures. Obviously you want to prevent a situation in which your operations lead to environmental damage. For yourself and for your surroundings. And you can also show evidence of this. A KEMA ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certificate enables you to prove conclusively that a better environment is an integral part of your corporate objectives.

You can make processes that affect the environment more manageable with a management system. The international ISO 14001 standard explains how. When you have us certify your management system, you’re making it clear to the government, social organizations, residents in the vicinity, your own personnel, and customers that you take the environment seriously. An Environmental Management System means that people in your company deal responsibly with raw materials and residues, and with energy consumption and additives. In short, prior to every operation consideration is given to how the impact on the environment can be limited as much as possible.
