%

Certified standard
ISO 14001 is the world’s most popular environmental management system standard, with over 300,000 organisations certified in more than 175 countries.

ISO14001 & ISO5001

Side by side, we’re meeting the highest standards

 

ISO 14001 and 50001 are two international standards which focus on environmental management and energy management, respectively. They are widely recognised, suitable for all types of businesses, and used by organisations globally to establish and maintain effective management systems that promote sustainability and improve environmental performance.

ISO 14001 is a fundamental part of an organisation’s journey towards becoming more sustainable. An ISO 50001 certification exempts a business from having to comply with ESOS, which can be a costly and resource-intensive process every four years. Together, our expert team will support you through every step of meeting, certifying and maintaining these high standards.

Leading by example

Commercial was the first business in our industry in the UK to gain ISO14001 accreditation.

We understand the importance of both ISO14001 and 50001, the benefits they can both bring to an organisation and the tangible return-on-investment. Our experience means we are best positioned to demonstrate why our clients should invest in implementing these sustainability standards.

Experience

We can consult on the benefits using first-hand experience to illustrate the role they both play in creating a competitive advantage, how the accreditation works as part of a tender process and the benefits from a legal compliance and overall waste management point of view.

Credibility

Both standards are widely recognised and respected by customers, stakeholders and regulators. We will help you demonstrate compliance and help you to build collective confidence in both your approach to environmental and energy management.

Trend-spotting

We keep up to speed with all the latest industry trends and best practice. Both accreditations have evolved overtime and will continue to do so. We’ll be on-hand to keep you abreast of any changes, advise on how it might impact you and offer bespoke solutions where required.

Sustainability as standard

While the benefits of sustainability and environmental management are clear, the challenges businesses face when considering industry standards and compliance can be complex. Here are five common issues and the solutions we offer:

Lack of expertise:
We are here to help bridge the knowledge gap. Our skilled team understand that without extensive experience, knowledge and expertise it is challenging to identify what’s required to successfully implement both ISO 14001 and 50001, accurately assess the potential cost implications and gain the necessary insight to appreciate the extend of the benefits.
Resource constraints:
Partnering with Commercial will ensure the process to ISO 14001 and 50001 accreditation means you don’t have to find the necessary time and resources from an internal perspective which can often delay the process.
Operational integration:
Integrating ISO 14001 and 50001 into the overall business can be complex. Our expert consultants are on hand to help you manage the integration into your overall business strategy and operation. Stakeholder collaboration, management and coordination across departments is key.
Making the business case:
Despite increased awareness and emphasis on sustainability it is important to demonstrate the value and return on investment for implementing ISO 14001 and 50001. We’re on hand to help ensure key decision makers and stakeholders understand the investment from a cost and resource perspective and the return for the business on a short and long term basis.
Ensuring regulation compliance:
Compliance with environmental and energy regulations can be complex. Turn to us to ensure you are fully up to speed and compliant with all the necessary legal requirements.

INDUSTRY INSIGHT

A holistic approach to environmental performance

As environmental performance rises up the boardroom agenda, it has rightly become a business-wide matter, affecting every department from facilities management to operations and health and safety.

Integration and synergy

ISO14001 and 50001 are both designed to be integrated into other management systems such as Quality Management (ISO9001) and Occupational Health and Safety (ISO45001). Integrating environmental and energy management systems with other areas of the business will encourage synergy and promote greater operational efficiency.

Energy landscape
With the fluctuation in energy prices ongoing it has become even more crucial for businesses to understand usage, requirements and alternatives. ISO50001 provides the framework for your organisation to manage and continually improve your energy performance, which can deliver significant cost savings in the current energy climate.
Environmental targets
Without ISO 14001 it is harder to comply with environmental laws, more difficult to improve waste management and more challenge to meet key environmental targets.

our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.
