SERVICES | ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – ISO 14001

Environmental Management System – ISO 14001

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). JRP provides practical support for organisations looking to understand, develop or improve their EMS.

ISO 14001 provides a structured framework that helps organisations manage their environmental responsibilities in a consistent, controlled, and measurable way. In simple terms, it helps you identify, manage, monitor, and improve your environmental impact.

Turn environmental responsibility into measurable business performance

Implementing an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) gives you a structured, practical way to reduce environmental impact, stay compliant, and improve operational efficiency. Done well, it not only ticks boxes, it drives cost savings, reduces risk, and strengthens your sustainability credentials.

We help you build an EMS that works in practice, aligned to your operations, embedded in your teams, and focused on real outcomes.

Who is ISO 14001 for?

For organisations that want to improve environmental performance and stay ahead of compliance requirements. Ideal for organisations that:

  • Want to understand how close they are to ISO 14001 readiness
  • Want to improve environmental compliance, governance and operational control
  • Need a clear action plan before committing to certification
  • Have multi-site operations that need consistent environmental control
  • Need ISO 14001 certification for a contract, tender or client requirement
  • Have environmental policies or procedures but no fully implemented EMS
Whether you are starting from scratch, responding to a client requirement, preparing for certification or improving an existing system, we help identify what is already in place, what is missing and what needs to happen next.
Our approach is clear, proportionate and focused on real operational practice. We avoid unnecessary complexity and provide practical outputs that can be used by management teams, site teams and those responsible for environmental compliance.
  • Reduced environmental risk and improved legal compliance
  • Lower waste, resource use, and associated costs
  • Stronger ESG performance and stakeholder confidence
  • Clear accountability and control across sites and operations
  • More efficient, standardised processes
  • A system that drives continuous improvement, not just certification
  • Confidence that your EMS will stand up to external audit scrutiny

We tailor ISO 14001 implementation to your organisation, ensuring it integrates with existing processes and delivers real value.

Gap Analysis (pre-certification)

We carry out a detailed assessment of current arrangements against ISO 14001:2015, identifying areas of conformity, partial conformity and missing evidence. This provides a practical starting point for implementation or certification planning.

EMS setup and implementation support

Support to develop a practical Environmental Management System, including key documents, procedures, roles, responsibilities, objectives and evidence requirements.

Outsourced internal auditing

We can take on your internal audit programme – providing consistent, expert auditing without relying on internal resource. This approach is already used by organisations such as Vodafone to ensure independence and quality.

Environmental aspects and impacts register

Identification and assessment of environmental aspects and impacts across activities such as energy use, waste, water, chemicals, transport, procurement, contractors, refrigeration and emergency situations.

Environmental legal and compliance register

Support to identify applicable environmental legal requirements and other compliance obligations, including how they apply and what evidence is needed to demonstrate compliance.

Training

We upskill your teams with practical, role-specific training so the EMS is understood, embedded, and effectively maintained.

Operational control review

Review of practical controls for waste, energy, water, spill response, chemicals, contractors, procurement, maintenance and emergency preparedness.

Internal audit and management system review

We can help prepare audit programmes, audit checklists, corrective actions and management review inputs, helping organisations maintain and improve their EMS. We go beyond compliance by reviewing system performance and identifying opportunities to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and business value over time.

Choose a partner focused on real environmental performance, not just passing audits

With 25+ years expertise, we offer:

  • Practical, business-focused approach tailored to your organisation
  • Experience supporting complex, multi-site and high-risk operations
  • Flexible delivery, from full implementation to targeted support
  • Independent, high-quality internal auditing capability
  • Focus on embedding systems into real operations, not just documentation
  • Long-term support to ensure continuous improvement beyond certification

See what our clients say…

JRP have been instrumental in helping us to reduce our energy consumption and costs during a challenging period of organisational change and growth. Professional, reliable and easy to work with.

Steven Buchan, Estates Manager | Circle Health

Working with JRP Solutions transformed our energy management journey. Their expertise and tailored support for ISO 50001 and a behavioural change programme brought real clarity and momentum. We now have a robust framework and engaged team driving down energy use. Thank you to the JRP team for their expertise, commitment, and support throughout.

Ian Goldsworthy, Energy and Carbon Reduction Manager | Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council (MTCBC)

JRP understand the support they are asked to give and deliver on time, budget and in a clear concise professional manner. If only everyone was a reliable as JRP!

Jonathan Blair, Technical Advisor | Westons Cider

We are using JRP’s ‘Be Energy’ eLearning awareness course to help us fully meet the ISO 50001 standard. This course is not only getting good feedback from our staff but the external ISO 50001 auditor completed the course and commented that it was ‘the best energy training course that he had seen’. A feather in the cap for JRP.

David Rose, Energy and Carbon Manager | South West Water

JRP were easy to work with and their pragmatic approach to the project was critical to the development of the submission and validation of our SBTs.

Kate Gallacher, Sustainability Officer | Scottish Leather Group

I have been very impressed by the quality of JRP’s work for the University of Oxford, right from the start. All the energy survey reports have been of high quality and tailored to our specific requirements. Many of the recommendations were not identified in previous surveys. JRP is not afraid to ask difficult questions and challenge the status quo. I have worked with and for energy consultancies for more than 20 years and the quality of JRP’s work is some of the best I have seen.

Philip Pike, Energy Manager | University of Oxford

From the outset, JRP provided a clear direction to us. It was beneficial to gain insight from the non-vehicle manufacturing sector and expert knowledge of the FM sector in particular. Throughout the process, JRP has been a guiding hand but who has also listened to our concerns and questions and provided patient answers to our many questions.

Christine Cooke, Senior Manager | Toyota Motor Manufacturing

We have achieved over 20% energy savings over the last 12 months and no doubt the training was a contributing factor towards this. I am sure that people are much more energy aware than they were before the training and I would recommend anyone who hasn’t done this sort of training to seriously consider it.

Andrew Smith, Property and Energy Manager | Numatic International

The skill and knowledge that was brought to bear demonstrated a level of sure-footedness that was reassuring. The breadth and quality of the work delivered was exactly what we required.

Ola Bankole, Head of Sustainability | London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

JRP delivered a comprehensive suite of audits that has really helped to us to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs across our sites. The opportunities identified were used as a platform to enhance our decarbonisation strategy, providing transparency on the technologies available now. JRP’s consultants were friendly, knowledgeable and professional at all times.

Nigel Pounder, Asset Manager | Greencore
