The trouble is, it does require a lot of time and resources. It’s not something you or your team can do after hours.

Stopping key people to sit down and start pouring over ISO preparation templates is out of the question.

The paperwork seems horrendous to someone who hasn’t done this before: You have to read and understand the standard, you have to audit and tweak your existing Environmental Management System (EMS), you have to document every detail of what you do? and you still won’t be sure if the EMS you design yourself will comply with the requirements of the ISO standard.

ISO 14001 certification means that your company commits to maintaining high quality. Forever.

If you neglect this commitment, your ISO 14001 certificate will be taken away.

Take Awesome Automotive Supplies for example (name changed on purpose). They got their certificate 3 years ago.

At first everyone was energized and happy. Management was happy that the entire organization spoke the same language, there were a series of accomplishments, the effectiveness of the entire organization increased and the quality of the products improved.

Then, after the first year, things started slowly going downslope. The internal audits were irregular and sloppy. The quality of the products deteriorated. Customers started complaining.

Finally, Awesome Automotive Supplies lost their biggest client.

A little bit later their ISO 14001 certificate was taken away by the certification body.

They are still in business but lost half of their market share and, most importantly, their reputation is now questionable.

Moral of the story: An ISO 14001 certification looks good on the wall, but if there is no commitment, it is only a matter of time before clients begin to look elsewhere and the certificate is taken away.

And with the ISO 14001 certificate there goes the business’ reputation.

With comparable services and products on the market, your reputation could mean all the difference.

But maintaining an ISO 14001 certification is a challenge

You need to make sure that you’re always ready for an audit when the time comes.

You need to perform internal audits regularly to maintain the quality of your products and keep your customers happy.

You need to commit to improving your products and services continuously.

Once you neglect that commitment, it’s very hard to catch back up. You will have to double the work.

All of this is constant pressure on you as a small business owner.

Internal audits are mandatory for all ISO 14001 certified businesses and recommended for those who are looking to get a certification.

They are actually a great tool that helps you improve efficiency and make sure that you produce high quality products.

The trouble is, performing internal audits means extra work for you and your staff.

It means your employees have to be trained to do internal audits. Or you have to hire an entire QA deparment which, again, has to be trained.

Not to mention that in a very small company it’s a challenge to find someone who isn’t involved in the process to audit it.

*Sigh*? It has to be done.

Life would be so much easier if you could outsource the ISO internal audits

But you can’t, can you?

Because it’s too expensive to hire a consultant to do these audits.

Because you are in the business and nobody knows it better than you do.

What if I told you that outsourcing ISO internal audits to us will be less expensive than hiring an entire QA department on payroll?

And that a fresh pair of eyes could help you spot issues that you won’t notice exactly because you’re in the business.

If you choose to outsource your internal audits to us, you will:

• find out why and how your products deviate from the desired results
• have an expert study your company and your processes inside-out
• rely on an ISO 14001 consultant with 10+ years of experience to audit each and every process in your company
• get a comprehensive report of the performance of each member, section or department
• rest assured that your EMS is ISO 14001 compliant
• be able to rely on your ISO consultant to keep all of your information confidential
• not need to train your staff to perform internal audits or hire a QA department

And it will help you grow. If you have ISO 14001 certification you will be able to:

1. tender for large projects or apply for public sector contracts. The ISO 14001 is a pre-requisite for most of these projects.
2. become a supplier for a large company. Most of these companies require ISO 14001 certification.
3. remain competitive. If a customer is choosing between you and your competitors, a certified business is much more likely to win the contract.
4. prove you’re a trustworthy and established business. Your customers will be much more likely to trust you, if your organization is actually certified for quality.
5. prepare for the moment when a customer requires that you become ISO 14001 compliant. Usually, when a company gets certified, it will request that the suppliers also become certified because this helps guarantee the quality of their products.
6. backtrack defects. You know it will only take a couple of untraceable defects on your product that have no point of tracking from design to development to production to set your SMB out of business.
7. reduce costs incurred by scraps and rework.

And these are just few of the benefits of ISO 14001 certification.

That’s all great but the cost of ISO 14001 certification is quite high

That’s why, you decided to save money by doing yourself all of the work that an ISO 14001 consultant does.

You downloaded templates and started trying to “fix them up” for your business. But this hardly ever works because:

• opting for a template as a reference is fine, but relying on template isn’t. Your processes might be far better than the template defined processes.
• ISO documents are not just some paperwork. They describe processes that your entire business will be supposed to follow strictly once you get certified. If the documents aren’t done properly, you will end up with a useless Environmental Management System that decreases the effectiveness of your production.
• when you’re not familiar with the ISO 14001 standard and its requirements, you will be wondering what to do with the templates and forms exactly.
• in the end, you will just waste your time, get frustrated and complain that the paperwork is impossible.

Preparing the necessary documentation is where small businesses waste most of the time. Still, paying a consultant hourly is outside of your budget.

What if you had all the necessary documents and templates customized for your business in just 4 weeks at a fixed price?

You would be able to save money and cut the time for ISO 14001 preparation in half.
