ISO 14001 Certification in Qatar: Reduce Environmental Risks
In Qatar's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, environmental responsibility has become a key concern for businesses. ISO 14001 certification offers an effective solution for organizations seeking to manage environmental risks while boosting their corporate reputation. This internationally recognized standard focuses on Environmental Management Systems (EMS), guiding companies to operate in a sustainable and legally compliant manner. ISO 14001 is part of the ISO 14000 family of standards related to environmental management. It provides a framework that helps organizations identify, manage, monitor, and control their environmental issues holistically. The goal is to minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by business activities while ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The standard is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model, enabling continual improvement in environmental performance. It emphasizes risk-based thinking and leadership involvement, ensuring that environmental considerations are integrated into business strategies and decision-making processes. As Qatar aims to diversify its economy and promote sustainable development under its National Vision 2030, regulatory bodies are placing more emphasis on environmental compliance. ISO 14001 certification aligns your business with these national goals and demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship. Key benefits include: Reduction of environmental risks through proactive identification and control measures. Improved compliance with local environmental laws and global standards. Enhanced brand image and reputation, especially in industries like construction, oil & gas, and manufacturing. Increased efficiency and reduced waste, leading to cost savings over time. Better stakeholder and community relations, fostering long-term partnerships. Eligibility for government projects and international contracts that require environmental credentials. In today's eco-conscious market, clients and stakeholders prefer working with organizations that demonstrate sustainability and responsibility. ISO 14001 certification signals that your company is committed to reducing its ecological footprint. This can lead to improved stakeholder trust, more business opportunities, and even competitive advantages during tenders and project bids. Moreover, employees often feel more engaged when working in environmentally responsible organizations, boosting morale and retention. The certification also facilitates corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting and sustainability audits, which are increasingly demanded by investors and partners. Companies in Doha, Ras Laffan, Mesaieed, and Dukhan are increasingly adopting ISO 14001 to gain both local and international recognition. The implementation process involves: Assessing current environmental impacts Setting goals for improvement Establishing documented procedures for monitoring and evaluation Working with experienced consultants can make the certification journey smoother.

With eraLow, Eramet offers the hard-to-abate steel industry some of the most sustainable manganese alloys available on the global market: Already, one of the lowest CO2 footprints on the market: eraLow products are guaranteed below 1.9t CO2 / t of alloy for scope 1 and 2 emissions, outperforming significantly the manganese alloys global industry average of 3.9t CO2 / t of alloy (CRU study based on 2023 data). These exceptional results are due to the use of carbon-free electricity in Norway and France, combined with cutting-edge production processes. A verified carbon intensity: eraLow comes with a carbon intensity assurance statement verified by DNV, an internationally recognized third party. Transparency along the entire value chain with eraTrace: eraLow products are traced through eraTrace, Eramet's unique traceability service using blockchain technology and offering a digital passport for each delivery order.

Keighley cardboard tube manufacturer commits to £400k solar investment
A Keighley manufacturing business, Stell, which produces cardboard tubes, has committed to a £400,000 investment in solar power generation. This adds a further 380KW generating capacity to the existing 120KW array, giving a 500KW array in total. Stell, a fifth-generation family business, produces cardboard tube and core products and supplies more than 16,000km of cardboard tubes across the UK and Europe each year from a 100,000 sq ft facility in Keighley. The company claims to have a "sustained track record of continuous improvement of its facilities and process to reduce its environmental footprint." Stell's factory is heated using sustainable biomass, and illuminated by "latest generation LEDs." Sam Stell, director at Stell, said: "As a UK cardboard core and tube manufacturer, we take our environmental footprint very seriously. "We're ISO 14001 accredited and we invest heavily in clean tech, so we're well underway in our net zero journey. "Since our founding in 1872, our processes have evolved countless times, but our dedication to environmental responsibility has remained a constant." Stell holds both ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certifications; the former provides a framework for implementing effective Environmental Management Systems, and the latter "acknowledges the firm's ongoing commitment to quality management systems in its end-to-end procedures."
