Frequently Asked Questions
Why certify?
ISO 14001:2015 helps improve your company's environmental performance and enhance your reputation in the market. Furthermore, in some companies, implementation of an Environmental Management System according to the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 or EMAS Regulation is an environmental condition stated in Permits or Licenses issued by the Ministry of Environment.
How long does it take to gain ISO 14001:2015 certification?
Typically 3-6 months, although this may depend on various factors. The main issue is that the company demonstrates that its management system is fully implemented and meets all the requirements of the standard.

Does it substitute public authority audits?
