It can be challenging to successfully structure, format, and communicate in your tendering application document how your company manages its environmental performance.

Achieving ISO 14001 Certification means your business will now have a well-documented management system that has been implemented and executed. Having these policies and procedures in place now means that the majority of the responses to tendering questions will be easily accessible.
