Verkís assists companies and institutions in managing their environmental impacts and systematically working toward improvements in line with environmental policies.
Effective environmental management requires a robust environmental management system that integrates environmental considerations across all aspects of operations.
Request a consultationAn environmental management system developed in accordance with recognized standards can be certified by an independent third party. One example of such an international standard is ISO 14001. A certified environmental management system demonstrates that an organization meets defined requirements for structured environmental management and continuous improvement of environmental performance.
Certification under international schemes such as BREEAM and the Nordic Swan Ecolabel also includes environmental management requirements.
Verkís has specialists in various fields of environmental and quality management. We assist organizations with policy development and implementation of environmental management systems, provide consultancy on environmental certifications, and handle data collection and processing required by certification schemes. Verkís consultants are accredited assessors for both BREEAM and the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.
Verkís also offers environmental and monitoring plans that define requirements for specific projects, necessary mitigation measures, and planned environmental monitoring. These plans are developed as living documents that are updated throughout the project lifecycle.
