THE ISO 14000 – ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

What the ISO9001-2008 system does for the management of processes and procedures with regard to the delivery of goods and services, the ISO14000 system does for the environment.

This system is very similar to ISO9001- 2008

however rather than focusing on the goods and services it focuses on the way the organization manages its impact on the environment. It too is a continual improvement system and requires the organization to review its effects on the environment with the view of reducing it impact.

It is the intention to implement this system into Southey Gauteng

over the next 12 months with the view of achieving accreditation by March 2012. We will therefore require your assistance in providing data such that we are able to set our base lines and consider our current impact on the environment so that we are able establish meaningful and achievable improvement objectives.
