ISO 14001 Consultants
ISO 14001 is the international standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). The framework encourages sustainability by undertaking a systematic approach to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions whilst incorporating socio-economic needs.
Bywater has over 35 years’ experience in providing ISO 14001 EMS Consultancy services. As experts in their field, our ISO 14001 Consultants continually support organisations to reduce their environmental impact, including through implementing and improving their EMS whilst maintaining and achieving ISO 14001 certification. Our environmental consultants can also provide assistance to organisations seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and offset emissions.
ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System standard has been adopted by organisations globally. The standard is designed to help organisations protect the physical environment around them whilst meeting their economic needs of today, and without damaging the ability of future generations to do the same.
The standard adopts a systematic approach to environmental management to achieve long-term sustainability.
The complexity of an organisation’s EMS depends on the context and size of the organisation, the scope of the EMS, compliance obligations and the nature of works the organisation undertakes.
Designed to help organisations achieve their own environmental objectives, as well as fulfilling environmental compliance obligations and enhancing environmental performance. The benefits of an ISO 14001 certification include:
- cost savings through the reduction of waste and consumption
- protection of the environment through understanding and managing your ‘environmental aspects’ and ‘environmental impacts’
- reduction of the organisation’s environmental impact by utilising a life cycle perspective
- confidence that government and industry compliance regulations are being met
- improved brand image
- increased employee satisfaction through enhanced environmental performance
- ensuring legal requirements relating to environmental aspects are met
In addition to providing ISO 14001 consultancy and ISO 14001 training courses, we offer a variety of business improvement courses aimed at helping organisations to improve their management systems, products and services including:

How we can help
ISO 14001 Gap Analysis
An initial step in the certification process is assessing your organisation against the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 in the form an EMS gap analysis.
Following the analysis our EMS consultant will provide you a written report of the findings which can be used as the basis for an ISO 14001 implementation plan.
Auditing Against ISO 14001
Pre-assessment audits, internal audits and supplier audits can assist in maintaining and continually improving your EMS.
We understand the importance of an objective viewpoint when auditing and can undertake the full audit on your behalf or provide support during the audit process.
Developing EMS Documentation
ISO 14001 outlines the required documentation for an EMS including a documented scope, environmental policy and compliance obligations.
Our Environmental Management consultants can advise, provide support, create and update your EMS documentation to ensure it complies the requirements of ISO 14001 and assists in the continual improvement of your EMS.
ISO 14001 Training Courses

GHG & Carbon Reduction

Our consultants can review your carbon footprint and support you to develop an effective carbon management programme tailored to your organisation’s aims.
Environmental Sustainability
