ISO 14001 — Environmental Management System
The centre of gravity in an ISO 14001 audit sits in two clauses: environmental aspects and impacts, and compliance obligations. If the aspect register does not reflect what the site actually does, or the legal register was compiled once and never updated, the auditor reads everything else through those two gaps. Our readiness work rebuilds the aspect-impact matrix by walking the site, matches applicable environmental legislation and permit conditions to the organization’s activities, and lays out the calendar of monitoring and reporting obligations. We verify that waste, emission, discharge and noise records agree with the permit conditions before the audit, not after a finding.
Where a facility holds an environmental permit, readiness starts by checking that the permit conditions and the management system agree; a single permit condition the system does not cover will carry an otherwise sound system into a finding.
