Environmental Management Certification

Trending towards environmental certification

As environmental issues continue to confront the business community, companies are increasingly viewing certification to ISO 14001 as a compelling means of improving their performance. In addition to conserving vital natural resources, many manufacturing and service businesses have benefited from reduced operating costs, increased efficiencies, lower risk and liability, improved health and safety conditions and better community relationships.

Manufacturing and service firms are seeing additional business and economic incentives for taking a more proactive, formal posture with their environmental programs. For example, General Motors, Ford and DaimlerChrysler all expect their suppliers to be certified to the ISO 14001 standard.

Smithers Quality Assessments (SQA) is accredited to offer certification of quality management systems (QMS) and environmental management systems (EMS) and can provide integrated assessments of the two standards. Learn more the SQA Process.
