Accreditation

Proving your commitment to the environment

Your customers are becoming increasingly aware of ‘green’ issues. This means they will expect to see your commitment to minimising the impact of your business on the environment. Accreditation is one of the best ways to demonstrate this.

Achieving accreditation can often be quite a complex process, which is why it makes sense to use an expert to help you through the technicalities.

Resource Futures has years of experience in helping businesses gain accreditation in IIP (Investors in People) and EMS (Environmental Management Systems), as well as developing comprehensive environmental policies. EMS certification is increasingly a contractual requirement especially when bidding for public sector contracts, which often call for the implementation of ISO 14001.
 
We can help you gain accreditation by:

1. Carrying out a business analysis for you against the requirements of the Standard

2. Presenting a report with our findings

3. Helping you prepare an action plan to meet the Standard  

4. Signpost you to any appropriate funding opportunities.  

We have a range of tools and templates that will enable you to improve performance as well as achieve the Standard.

We can also help you maintain your ongoing accreditation in a number of ways. For instance, by supporting you in the new ways of working with the extended Standard or providing a ‘health check’ before your next review.
