Since 2021, we have seen a surge in companies making big strides to improve their environmental processes, announce Environmental Social Governance (ESG) policy, and set net-zero targets. In many sectors, especially construction, manufacturing, and retail, organizations have a legal duty to ensure the business activities they undertake have a minimal impact on their surroundings and the wider environment.
More and more businesses are becoming aware of their environmental responsibility to improve their environmental credentials, implement sustainable business processes, and reduce their carbon footprint. Environmental credibility is becoming an increasingly important factor in national and international competitiveness when selecting suppliers and awarding contracts. This is your chance to get ahead with ISO 14001 certification.
Environmental Compliance
In Malaysia, you can reduce your chances of being prosecuted by Department of Environment (DOE) by identifying the environmental laws, legislation, acts, and regulations that apply to your business. This is known as a Legal Register.
Being ISO 14001 certified will help ensure compliance. It demonstrates that your company is concerned about its environmental impact and legal compliance, and that the environmental management system aims to reduce the risk of environmental incidents and legal violations.
Aside from ensuring environmental compliance, obtaining ISO 14001 certification has numerous additional advantages:
- Show your customers and suppliers that you are concerned about the environment.
- Create an environmentally conscious business that will attract new talent who want to work for ethical organisations.
- Stand out from your competitors by demonstrating that your company does things differently.
- Cost savings may be identified through waste reduction and energy efficiency.
- Improve the supply chain while keeping the environment in mind.
- Environmental benefits can help you promote your company and products.
- Reduce environmental costs, which will help you increase profits and open up new business opportunities.
