An Environmental Management System helps organizations identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental issues in a “ holistic ” manner.
At Bikon, we help Organizations understand the requirements of an environmental management system and walk them through the journey of implementing ISO 14001 successfully.
Why ISO 14001
Organizations should take a strategic approach to improve its environmental performance because
ISO 14001 helps :
Organizations demonstrate compliance with current and future statutory and regulatory requirements, increase leadership involvement and engagement of employees , improves company reputation and the confidence of stakeholders through strategic communication, achieve strategic business aims by incorporating environmental issues into business management, provide competitive and financial advantage through improved efficiencies and reduced costs and encourages better environmental performance of suppliers by integrating them into the organization’s business systems.
ISO 50001 Aims to help Organisations establish the systems and process necessary to improve energy performance. This should lead to reductions in energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions through systematic management of energy.
The standard sets out the requirements for an energy management system (EnMS) to enable an organization to develop and implement a policy and objectives that take into account legal requirements and information about significant energy uses. It is intended to apply to all types and sizes of organisations whatever their geographical, cultural and social conditions.
At Bikon Consulting, we help your organization profit from the experience of third-party auditors, and eliminate the problems encountered by others. It is hoped that this simple approach will cut through some of the “fog” and “Management Speak” that so often overcomplicates something that should be reasonably straightforward.
Organisations and individuals have to manage health and safety standards within the workplace for various reasons. These reasons can usually be grouped under three main headings: moral, social (or legal) and economic (or financial).
The moral reason relates to the moral duty that one person has to another. Many people are killed, injured or made sick by their work. This is morally unacceptable and society as a whole demands that people are safe while at work.
The social (or legal) reason relates to the framework of laws that govern the conduct of businesses and organisations. An employer has a duty to provide a safe place of work, safe plant and equipment, safe systems of work, adequate training and supervision, and competent employees.
The economic (or financial) reason relates to the fact that accidents and ill health cost money. When an accident occurs there will be direct and indirect costs as a result of that event.
Bikon Consulting Ltd helps organisations establish, implement and maintain ISO 45001:2018 which specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.
ISO 22000 food safety management system is an internationally recognized Standard for managing food safety. It provides the general principles of food hygiene from the farm, primary production through final consumption, highlighting key hygiene controls at each stage.
The need to have a well-developed food safety management system is crucially important for any organization that is in the food processing industry. Some of the benefits of such control systems include to;
- Help in capacity building in an organization with respect to product safety e.g. where export certification is a requirement, the organisation identifies the weaknesses and focuses on correcting these. - Facilitate negotiating agreements/MOUs for recognition of food control systems and certification by the importing country, where an organisation manufactures for export. - Open doors to qualify as a global food supplier - Ensure compliance to Food Safety legislation, and many others.
At Bikon Consulting Ltd, we have a team of food safety experts with vast years of experience in implementation of food safety systems across various sectors in the food industry, namely beverage, dairy, meat processing amongst others.
