ISO 14001/EMAS - Enhanced image and improved market position.

Increasing environmental awareness in the general population means that the environment is also becoming more and more important for companies of all kinds and in all sectors: companies who can demonstrate that they act in a way which is kind to the environment improve their image and strengthen their market position. In fact, companies profit in many different ways from the implementation of an Environment Management System:

• The ability to compete is strengthened; the positive effect on those outside the company and additional publicity help to open up new markets.
• An environmental management system offers savings potentials - by lowering disposal costs and insurance premiums.
• The risk of being made liable for damages is minimised, there is more security with regard to the law and before the courts. Duties of mandatory documentation are fulfilled and liability risks excluded.
• Work sequences are improved: companies who have developed a management system can make use of the resulting structures for the area of occupational safety and health. Performance of joint certification leads to cost savings and increases the efficiency of the systems interacting with one another.
