Quality & CO₂ management / ISO 14001

Make environmental performance part of everyday management.

ISO 14001 focuses on controlling and improving environmental performance. We help with context, environmental aspects, applicable obligations, objectives and operational control. The 2026 edition gives clearer attention to climate change, biodiversity and resources. We assess impacts and dependencies and translate relevant challenges into climate mitigation, climate adaptation and nature measures.

PREPARATION FOR INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT

A practical system.
A clear pathway.

Environmental management that addresses business activities, climate and the living environment together.

We build on what already works, identify what is missing and help implement improvements.

01

Environmental aspects & context

Climate, biodiversity, water and resources in the context analysis. Translating activities, supply-chain effects and dependencies into priorities.

02

Obligations & control

An up-to-date overview of applicable requirements and how you evaluate compliance.

03

Programme & performance

Objectives and measures for mitigation, adaptation and nature. Accountable people, resources and separately substantiated performance indicators.

04

Audit & improvement

Internal review, follow-up and preparation for the independent certification audit.

EDITION, SCOPE & ASSESSMENT

Be precise about
what you demonstrate.

ISO 14001:2026 has been published. For an existing certificate, we align the transition with applicable arrangements and the certification body. We determine nature measures based on relevant impacts and the chosen objectives.

RTE provides advice and support. The appropriate independent certification or verification body conducts the assessment and decides on the certificate or statement.

THE STRATEGIC CONNECTION

Quality provides structure.
Environmental management provides direction.

We connect the context analysis to your business strategy. What do climate change, water, materials and biodiversity mean for your clients, processes and surroundings?

Relevant topics receive an owner, an objective, a measure and a place in management review.

ISO 9001 / QUALITY

Keep delivering reliably.

Client expectations, process quality and continuity. We assess how climate and relevant nature dependencies may affect desired business outcomes.

Quality management & preparation for 2026
ISO 14001 / ENVIRONMENT

Improve environmental performance with purpose.

The 2026 edition gives clearer attention to climate change, biodiversity and resources. We translate relevant environmental aspects and obligations into delivery and measurable progress.

Environmental management & the 2026 edition

We determine the scope based on your organisation and applicable requirements. As of 12 September 2026, ISO 9001:2026 is still being prepared for publication. View the standard’s status and sources ↗

NATURE-POSITIVE PARTNER

From a strong organisation
to a demonstrable commitment to nature.

RTE connects certification support to the Nature-Positive Partner partnership. Partner status recognises the agreed commitment and accountability; it does not certify that your business as a whole is nature-positive.
