Environmental inventory
Aspects and impacts per process, legal requirements.

ISO 14001
ISO 14001 structures environmental impact and requires knowing what is consumed and emitted. It is the foundation on which CSRD, carbon footprint and EcoVadis reporting are built.
ISO 14001 structures the environmental impact of your operations: identification of aspects and impacts, legal requirements, environmental objectives, emergency plan and compliance evaluation. The standard requires knowing how much is consumed and emitted — and that is already half the battle.
What adds the most value today: that measured figure is the foundation for everything that follows in sustainability — the ISO 14064 carbon footprint, ESG reporting under ESRS, getting ready for EcoVadis or B Corp, and CSRD documentation if your supply chain requires it.
That is why we recommend integrating 14001 with 9001 where applicable (68% of our clients do so): one set of documentation, one committee, two certificates.
