ISO 14001
ISO 14001 is the most widely spread, globally, Environmental Management Standard.
It consists a basic tool for companies to address their environmental issues as well as a proof of their environmental awareness.
The standard can be applied by every organization that is interested in optimizing its environmental footprint despite of its size or sector of operations.
It should be noted that it is designed in order to be concurrent with other Management Systems such as ISO 9001, in order for the company to operate under a unified Management System.
The goal of an environmental management system under ISO 14001 is:
- Integration of day-to-day operations of the company with the current environmental legal framework
- Pollution prevention
- Continuous improvement and readjustment of the operations of the company
- Decrease of the energy and resources consumption
- Decrease in environmental impact
- Restoration and reuse of materials
| Stage 1: | Mapping of the current state |
| Stage 2: | Listing of all deviations from the Provisions of the Law and the prerequisites of the Standard |
| Stage 3: | Succesful Installation and Application of the Company’s Management System |
| Stage 4: | Trial Operation of the Management System |
| Stage 5: | Staff/Personnel Training |
| Stage 6: | Selection of a Certification Body |
| Stage 7: | Approval of the Certification Body’s offer by the Company and Setting of the on-site Inspection. |
| Stage 8: | Onsite Inspection |
| Stage 9: | Result of the Inspection |
| Stage 10: | Prompt Fullfillment of all Corrective Actions with the Assistance of the Consultant |
| Stage 11: | Issue of the Certificate (3-year Validity) with annual audits by the Certification Body |
| Stage 12: | Optionally, the company may continue cooperating with the consultant in order to successfully abide with all the ongoing requirements of the Certificate. |
The certification of an Environmental Management System under ISO 14001, is not compulsory for the Classification of Hotels or Rentals-Furnished Rooms and Apartments in its respective category (stars/keys).
However, the application of such a System (along with its subsequent certification) leads to the fulfillment of the respective Optional Criterion for both categories (Hotels and Rentals-Furnished Rooms and Apartments).
We emphasize on the fact that the certification of the company with ISO 14001, boosts the total rating by 200 points (Hotels) or 150 points (Rentals-Furnished Rooms and Apartments).
