ISO 14001 — Environmental
Management
Certification of environmental management systems against ISO 14001:2015 — for organisations that must demonstrate environmental responsibility, not just declare it.
Why would we need ISO 14001?
It documents that your environmental management is a working system, not a statement.
The standard requires you to identify the environmental aspects of what you do, control their impact, meet your legal obligations, and improve the numbers year on year. It appears more and more often as a condition in industrial and infrastructure tenders, in supply chains, and in export markets.
Built for teams
like yours.
- Industrial and construction companies with environmental obligations
- Contractors in tenders with environmental criteria
- Exporters to markets where ISO 14001 is a supplier condition
- Hotel and tourism operators managing energy, water and waste systematically
If one of these is you, it is worth a conversation.

3 reasons to choose us.
The audit that turns environmental management from a claim into a record happens on site, not in a folder.
-
The audit looks at the waste, the emissions and the permits themselves.
The register of environmental aspects, whether the applicable permits are actually in force, and how the figures move from year to year are all checked on site. In a tender scored on environmental criteria a declaration does not pass; a verified figure does.
-
The accreditation behind the certificate is checkable too.
Azerbaijan Accreditation Centre attestation under AZS ISO/IEC 17021-1:2021, AZ 03.0031.01.26. International supply chains check the body that issued the certificate, not only the certificate.
-
It can be combined with ISO 45001 in one audit programme.
Environmental and occupational safety management are checked on the same site under the same programme. That comes out shorter, and cheaper, than two separate certification processes.

Three years, subject to annual surveillance audits that confirm the system is still operating. In year three a recertification audit renews the cycle.
Yes — General Group Co. is accredited by the Azerbaijan Accreditation Centre under AZS ISO/IEC 17021-1:2021 (attestation AZ 03.0031.01.26), so the certificates we issue are independently recognised, not self-declared.
Anyone can. Every certificate we issue can be checked online through our public verification page at any time — no account, no request, no waiting.
No — impartiality rules prohibit a certification body from certifying a system it built. We can certify a system prepared in-house or with an independent consultant; our procedures explain exactly what the audit will examine.
No. ISO 14001 is certification of a management system; an environmental impact assessment is a separate, legally required evaluation. Neither one replaces the other.
Yes, they can be combined into a single audit programme. For companies that want to run environmental and occupational safety management together, this is the efficient route.
Energy, water and waste management hit costs directly in that sector. The certificate shows the management of them is systematic rather than incidental.
