ISO 14001

When I started in health and safety, um, environmental management was there, but it was more on the- ... outer elements of it, I would argue.

Um, over time though, I started getting involved in ISO 14001.

Uh, and I've always, you know, sort of had a sort of environmental mindset, I think.

Um, but I end up really getting more involved in the environmental management side through ISO auditing, so implementing the standards, auditing against it.

And then lastly, what I've seen in practice is sometimes the on-site audits, it's like everybody kind of cleans up their act right before the auditor comes, where we measure objective facts, if that makes sense.

So like what are the requirements? either your own system or an ISO 14001.

So we would check that ISO 14001 documentation, make sure the certification is in order.

That program does require an on-site audit.

So ultimately, we try to rely on the frameworks and structures that companies are already using rather than duplicating them to streamline the process.

We would rely upon those other certification standards.

And I think that's really kind of a crucial part of the way that our program works is it's not like we're asking you to start from zero and restart.

If you have ISO 14001, you have your bio-based mass ballot certification, you have a certification of your factory, you have LEED certification of your factory, your BREEAM.
