Securing the future through systematic Environmental Management
Certification of your environmental management system (EMS) in accordance with ISO 14001 guarantees continuous improvement in your environmental performance and cost reduction through the economical use of raw materials and energy.
You benefit from:
Organisational optimisation and timely identification of opportunities and risks
Transparency and credibility through active stakeholder communication and legal protection for managers
Demonstrable improvement in environmental performance through key performance indicators and a contribution to climate protection
Increased brand value, acceleration of approval procedures, and fiscal and regulatory relief
Motivation of employees to contribute their potential (easier recruiting)
Once a management system according to ISO 14001 has been structured, it can be expanded into a sustainability management system at any time by integrating additional topics, such as social or climate aspects.
Certified companies show that they are reliable partners – and take responsibility.
Benefits of Certification
Compliance
The certification publicly demonstrates that the company complies with environmental laws and regulations. Internally, it strengthens the legal certainty of those responsible.
Risk minimisation
Systematic environmental management enables environmental risks to be identified and controlled at an early stage, protecting against damage, liability and loss of reputation.
Profitability
You save resources, reduce your environmental costs, motivate your employees and gain advantages through subsidies.
Competitive advantage
ISO 14001 is a plus point in many tenders and strengthens market position through demonstrable environmental responsibility.
Customer loyalty
Optimised processes, credible sustainability and transparent communication promote trust among customers and partners.
Facts and information
The requirements are based on the current revision of the standard (2015, new edition 2026 still pending).

When we have Prof Dr Lieback with us, it's always like a party - so refreshing and constructive: although it's an audit, we look forward to it because the auditors bring ideas with them - be it on the topics of quality management, occupational health and safety, hazardous substances or environmental protection.
