Environmental Accreditations and Procedures

We provide everything from an Environmental Policy to a fully accredited ISO14001:2004 System and Manual. If you require this to start improving the processes of your business or if it is a requirement of a tender or pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) – Thornton & Lowe can help.

Environmental ISO14001 : 2004

We will evaluate the current business model to identify those actions required to establish a compliant Environmental Management System. This will encompass all the aspects of the international standard ISO14001:2004.

The introduction of certain elements may impact upon those established for the quality management system as there are common elements to both standards and these issues will be addressed.

Working closely with the customer, Thornton & Lowe will establish, manage and discharge the requisite responsibilities and actions necessary to maintain a compliant environmental management system.
