An environmental management system is a practical tool that integrates environmental efforts into your company’s operations.
The EcoCompass environmental management system is based on the international ISO 14001 standard, adapted for small and medium-sized enterprises. This streamlined, practical system facilitates smooth environmental work.
The EcoCompass environmental management system includes everything from the initial assessment of environmental issues to the creation, reporting, monitoring, and development of the environmental program.
A tailored environmental program will be designed for your company, outlining practical actions for implementing environmental efforts. A well-executed environmental initiative earns you an environmental certification.
Why an Environmental Management System?
Implementing an environmental management system offers your organization clear practical benefits for organizing environmental responsibility, managing risks, monitoring legislation, and facilitating communication, among other things.
It becomes easier for your organization to start environmental initiatives when you engage with a well-structured process. The system helps identify the environmental impacts of your operations, making your environmental efforts systematic and measurable.
”We haven’t had to add any tasks or personnel hours, as the support from EcoCompass and our existing operations have kept us on track. External auditing and review are beneficial.”
CEO Karri Koskelo
