Why get ISO 14001 Certified?
Designed for any type of organisation, regardless of its activity or sector, the globally-recognised ISO 14001:2015 standard provides a framework that a company or organisation can follow to set up an effective Environmental Management System to improve your environmental performance.
Certification to ISO 14001 can benefit an organisation in a number of ways. For example, reduced waste management costs, savings in consumption of energy and materials, and lower costs of distribution.
Southpac Certifications provides Environmental Management Systems Certification for businesses across Australia and New Zealand to meet the standard in any industry.

How it works
With you, every step along the way
We take a fresh approach to certification, becoming a partner in your growth and success. Our focus is on continuous improvement for our clients’ long-term success, rather than an annual tick and flick approach.
Before
Our coordination team work tirelessly to understand your business and certification needs, from urgent proposals through to accommodating specific requests, and scheduling audits with an understanding approach.
During
You'll be assigned a Lead Auditor who will be your main point of contact throughout the process, and beyond – supporting you as you move forward to the assessment and certification of your management system.

Throughout the three-year certification cycle, our team will be available to support with any challenges or questions that may arise outside of the annual audit. That’s the added value of Certification Differently.
ISO 27001 is a must-have for us to demonstrate to our customers that we don't just advise; we apply the same standards and have the experience to back it up.
Bruno Lima
Lead System Engineer – Empire Technologies
We enjoyed the process, and I would have to recommend it to any business that wants to strengthen themselves in the industry they are in. I think it’s a great benefit for anyone.

If you have a dream set up, you have to make sure you can achieve it.
Blesson Chacko
General Manager, GNB Energy
It’s about ensuring that our clients are confident they’re dealing with a company that operates at a high standard.
Chris Redondo
CEO
It’s not about what we find, it’s about how we deal with what we find. If the system’s broken from an audit finding, it means it’s broken for the business. It means it needs improving.
Krystal Fish
HSEQ Officer, NT Link
If you're getting ISO certification to keep your clients happy, you're doing it for the wrong reason.
Nick King
General Manager
Your auditors were extremely helpful to show and explain to me best practice and really refine and give me great examples of how it can be done.
Kaitlyn Moore
Creative Director, Iconic Columns and Structures
It was a really good experience. [Southpac] didn't create any unnecessary hurdles.
Robert Neagle
Managing Director, All Industries Group
Southpac’s team took us through a step-by-step, systematic process, which made everything feel logical and manageable.
Michelle Safely
General Manager
It's so important that it is who you are as a business, not just something you do.
Lorinda Stiles
Master Blasters
No company is bulletproof—not even the Pentagon or CIA. Everyone has been hacked at some point. While we might expect these organisations to be leaders in cybersecurity, we understand that it requires targeted effort required to do that work. That's what has changed the game.
Cristiano Pires
Executive Director
I'm using it as structure for the business, for bringing in new systems and procedures. It's a good backbone.
Mitch Ham
Owner, MJH Plumbing & Trades
I felt it was more of a partnership than an auditor coming in and saying, this is wrong, that's wrong.

ISO 14001 Frequently asked questions
ISO 14001:2015 is an international standard for an Environmental Management System (EMS) used to improve environmental performance through efficient resource use and waste reduction.
ISO 14001:2015 certification is suitable for any organisation, regardless of size or sector, that aims to improve its environmental performance and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and regulatory compliance.
Benefits include improved environmental performance, compliance with legal requirements, increased efficiency, waste reduction, enhanced stakeholder trust, and potential cost savings from efficient resource use and waste management.
The first step is to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) that complies with ISO 14001:2015 requirements by designing processes and procedures that meet the standard's criteria. Then contact Southpac Certifications for a quote to get your system certified.
ISO 14001 certification involves two stages: Stage 1 is a documentation review, and Stage 2 is an onsite audit. Following your initial certification, the auditor will return for a surveillance audit in years 2 and 3, followed by a re-certification audit the following year to commence the cycle again.
Maintaining Environmental Management System certification requires ongoing compliance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard, including regular internal audits, annual surveillance audits and a re-certification audit every three years.
