Maintaining data twice
Pure management system software does not know your environmental data. So you maintain consumption data twice.

THE CHALLENGE
Does this sound familiar?
Your customers require the certificate, and the audit comes every year. And every time, preparation starts from scratch, with gaps that only show up in the audit.
Environmental aspects in Excel
Assessments, targets and measures are spread across different files and different people.
Gaps in the audit
What is missing often only becomes apparent when the auditor asks for it.
THE SOLUTION
ISO 14001 runs on data you already have
Environmental aspects, targets and measures are in one place in Code Gaia. The analysis uses the environmental data that is already in your carbon footprint, without maintaining it twice.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about ISO 14001
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems. It defines how a company assesses its environmental aspects, sets environmental targets and continuously improves its environmental performance in the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle. The certificate is valid for three years, with annual surveillance audits in between.
Is ISO 14001 mandatory?
No, ISO 14001 is voluntary. However, many large customers require the certificate in tenders. For the obligation under the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), only ISO 50001 or EMAS are sufficient today. The EnEfG reform is set to accept ISO 14001, under certain conditions, as an alternative.
What is the difference between ISO 14001 and EMAS?
EMAS builds on ISO 14001 and additionally requires a public environmental statement with core indicators, validated by an environmental verifier. In Code Gaia, both standards follow the same logic.
How are ISO 14001 and the carbon footprint connected?
Much of the environmental data for ISO 14001, such as energy and fuel consumption, is the same as in the carbon footprint. In Code Gaia you capture it once and use it for both purposes.
