ISO 14001 manage environmental impacts and review results

An environmental management system connects environmental issues to how you buy, produce and deliver. You identify what needs changing, address the requirements that apply to you and check whether your actions improve environmental results. AmpliFlow supports your assessments, tasks and follow-up as you prepare for ISO 14001 certification. Use the software yourselves or choose implementation help.

Decide what to change and review the result

AmpliFlow provides forms for environmental assessments, tasks with owners and objective follow-up. Familiar tools help colleagues with different levels of software experience take part, even in a small team. You collect measurement data and assess results and compliance.

  • Record environmental aspectsDescribe the environmental aspects of your operations, save your assessment and identify which are significant. These may concern resource use, emissions or other environmental impacts. You assess what is relevant to your business.
  • Give the change an ownerCreate environmental objectives and measurements for what you need to improve. Assign tasks to a person so decisions can be put into practice. Management needs to provide time and resources for the change.
  • Review progress towards the objectiveYou measure and record values under the objective measurement. Compare results with the objective and assess whether actions work. Check both that tasks are complete and that environmental performance improves.

Do you need human expert help?

Use the software to build your management system yourselves, or get help with setup and implementation. We agree the scope of that help before you decide.

  • Software only

    your team sets up and leads the work.

  • Implementation support

    Mini includes Swedish-speaking software support and introductory training. Midi provides project leadership, and with Maxi we build the management system with you. Midi and Maxi include migration of files at no extra migration charge.

Your team still coordinates its part of the work, and management makes the business decisions.

Questions before ISO 14001 certification

How do we know which environmental issues to start with?
Start with what your business does, buys and delivers. Environmental aspects are the parts of activities, products and services that affect the environment, such as energy use or waste. ISO 14001 requires you to assess which aspects are significant using established criteria and a life cycle perspective. That means also considering impacts before and after your own part of the work, where you can control or influence them. The assessment and applicable compliance obligations inform your priorities and environmental objectives.
Can the environmental coordinator handle the entire implementation?
The coordinator can organise the plan, but top management is accountable for an effective environmental management system, sets the environmental policy and provides resources. The people involved need to understand the environmental impacts of their tasks and have the right competence. One person may handle both purchasing and environmental matters, but responsibilities need to be clear. That remains true if AmpliFlow leads the project or builds the management system with you.
Does AmpliFlow measure our environmental impact?
No. You obtain measurements and other information from your operations, such as energy use or waste quantities. In AmpliFlow, you record results and follow objectives and tasks. People with the right knowledge need to assess data quality, interpret results and decide what action is needed.
Do we need to document our environmental work?
Yes. ISO 14001 requires records of matters such as your environmental policy, environmental aspects, obligations, objectives and follow-up. You also need the information that makes your own work effective. Documentation helps you explain decisions and review results, but does not replace changes in the business.
Can we bring files from our current system?
Yes, if you choose software with implementation help. Migration of agreed files is included at no extra migration charge. Free migration is not included with software only. Together, we review the material before the move.
Can we build on our quality management work?
Yes. If you already work with ISO 9001, you can share responsibilities, documents and improvement work in the same platform. You still need to assess environmental impact, address environmental requirements and review results under ISO 14001. Sharing a tool does not do that work for you.
Do we need to buy the ISO 14001 standard itself?

We recommend having access to the standard, either by purchasing it or through a subscription. This lets you read the original requirements, look up questions and make your own assessments.

If you would like support, our experts can help you understand the requirements and apply them in your organisation.
