It has become very important for businesses to get ISO 14001 certification to prove their consistent commitment to maintaining environmental quality with a coherent management system. Because the world is worried about rising environmental concerns like the depletion of natural resources, excessive emission of harmful chemicals and gas on the soil, water, and air, and abnormal climatic changes, it has become essential for every business to reduce their carbon footprint and other environmental impacts as much as possible. In such a stance, the ISO 14001 standard for an environmental management system (EMS) certifies a business’s commitment to the environment. ISO consultants play an important role in the certification process. The next few slides will explain how to pick the right consultants for ISO certification.

Just like ISO 20000 certification requires consultants with experience in the IT service systems, an ISO 14001 certification consultant must have experience with environmental management systems, and a knowledge of the regulations and rules specific to the industry.
The team of consultants should be able to provide you with some references of clients who they have helped with the certification process. You can enquire about their environmental issues and how they have coped with a strong EMS and adopting effective sustainable practices.
While some businesses may need an EMS focused on implementing sustainable efforts, some may need it to implement effective waste treatment practices. Environmental protection objectives and their approach to the EMS vary between each business, so consultants must have knowledge and experience to provide customized consulting services.
In addition to checking their client references, look at their testimonials to see what customers have to say about the quality of their work, and how fast the environmental certification process was for their business. This will give you confidence that you are choosing a reliable team of consultants.
While these are some of the primary factors that you need to check when hiring ISO consultants for ISO 14001 certification, do not forget about pricing. Even though the implementation of the certification can be a complex process, they will have a unique streamlined methodology to complete that saves both costs and time! You need to confirm this list of aspects with your consultants to ensure that the certification is successful and worthy enough to provide environmental benefits for your business.
