Environmental Management Systems - ISO 14001:2015
DNV understands the challenges and benefits of implementing environmental management systems and we can guide you through the entire process. We can create the system tailored to your specific business, assisting in the design of all elements of your management system such as procedures, forms, registers, key performance indicators (KPIs), objectives, and process mapping. We also provide a training solution for your staff on the use and maintenance of your management system.
If you have an environmental management system in place DNV can offer a gap analysis and internal auditing service which will determine the degree of conformance of your organisation’s management systems to the requirements of a specification or standard.
A gap analysis is mainly a document review or a “show me the evidence” activity, evidence which will assist you in identifying any gaps in conformance to the ISO14001:2015 environmental standard.
