Considering whether ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> is right for your business, cost is probably at the forefront of your mind. The cost of implementing ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> will always vary depending on a few factors, namely:<\/p>\n But that\u2019s probably not exactly the answer you were looking for, so let\u2019s break down what the costs could entail.<\/p>\n Implementing and maintaining an environmental management system takes time and resources. While it depends on your organisation’s size and complexity, the ISO certification process usually takes 3 to 6 months.<\/p>\n The nature of ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> focuses on employee participation, including people at all levels of the company, including those in leadership positions, so you\u2019ll need to plan and allocate time and resources alongside your employee\u2019s normal duties. The frequency of your surveillance audits will vary depending on your number of employees and the perceived environmental risk of your business processes, so make sure you also plan the resources needed for these audits. This cost depends on the type of course and the provider, but prices typically range from \u00a3300 for a classroom-based course on the requirements of ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> to \u00a31600 for a 3-day course on becoming an internal auditor. Training courses are a great way to ensure your employees are more efficient in carrying out their duties and should therefore place less stress on resources further down the line. Our internal auditor training sessions are CPD certified and are only delivered by consultants with more than five years of experience in conducting third-party audits.<\/p>\n If time and resources are already short, employing an ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> consultant will help reduce the strain of initial implementation. A consultant will ensure a smooth implementation process and can speed processes along when internal misinterpretations cause complications.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re put off by various costs of getting ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> certified, don\u2019t forget that in the long term, a successful environmental management system should save you money through:<\/p>\n You can arrange a free consultation with one of our knowledgeable advisors if ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> interests you. We work to make the process as simple as possible by providing a set charge and flexible approach to achieving ISO certification.<\/p>\n Do you already have ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> certification? You can become trained to conduct internal audits as an ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> internal auditor. We offer ISO 14001<\/a><\/span> internal auditor training courses for those interested.<\/p>\n\n
