The introduction of these two management standards together has many cost savings, including combined manuals and combined management reviews and audits.
You can see from the table below that there is a great deal of synergy between the quality management standard ISO9001 and the environmental management standard ISO 14001.

The two standards are the entry point for tenders on most government contracts. Sadly if you are not able to tick the two boxes:
- Have you a certificated quality management system in use? And
- Have, you a certificated environmental management system in use? Then it is likely your tender will not progress the initial criteria.
