More than environmental management...

Reducing your environmental impact while remaining commercially successful is the road to a sustainable future. ISO 14001 Environmental Management provides guidance on how to consider multiple aspects of your business procurement, storage, distribution, product development and manufacturing, so that it reduces its impact on the environment. It also drives you to evaluate how you manage emergency response, customer expectations, stakeholders and your relationships with your local community.

The standard is a flexible and agile framework, so you can make it work for your business and incorporate the latest ecological thinking, including a lifecycle perspective, helping to provide greater environmental protection. Organizations of all sizes can apply ISO 14001 Environmental Management to compete more effectively, whether you’re a small business, a multinational business, or a government.

Key topics discussed:
• Where we are today with climate crises and government targets
• The different aspects of environmental management in business
• ISO 14001 Environmental Management and the framework supporting environmental management
• Ordnance Survey’s perspective on their experience of certification

Meet our speakers:

Nick joined BSI over nine years ago as an EMS Specialist assessing all types of industry and business against ISO 14001 as well as ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001. More recently, Nick was appointed the UK and Ireland ISO 14001 Scheme Manager and in January 2022 joined the newly formed Sustainability Team. With the current challenges facing businesses from climate change, increased costs, and the journey to Net Zero, he is convinced that ISO 14001 is a major tool in driving continual improvement, reducing impacts and costs. 

On leaving university, Ella took up a post in the construction industry focussed on improving the energy performance of buildings. She used this experience to deliver ISO 14001:2015 certification for Ordnance Survey within 12 months of joining. Ella now leads on the delivery of a variety of capital projects, all with the sole aim of maximising the potential of OS’s BREEAM Excellent head office in Southampton, and wider estate. Ella also leads the Sustainability Steering Group at OS, working closely with all Directors to embed sustainability within every business process. She’s passionate about making these improvements genuine and tangible to all OS employees, so it’s ‘something we do, not just something we say’.
