Environmental and energy management: Your responsibility for a sustainable future
Environmental and energy issues are a central component of HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) tasks. Compliance with legal environmental regulations is crucial for companies, as violations can result in heavy fines or even the closure of parts of the business.
Responsibility for the environment: waste management and consulting
Every company bears a great responsibility towards the environment. Strict regulations must be observed, especially when disposing of hazardous waste. We support you as an external waste management officer and ensure that your company complies with all legal requirements. With our expertise, we support you in the proper implementation of the regulations from the Commercial Waste Ordinance (01.01.2019).
Efficient management through certified management systems
The importance of management systems in companies is constantly growing. These systems provide clear structures and help to keep track of laws, regulations and rules. We are at your side and support you in the introduction, maintenance and integration of management systems of all kinds to ensure efficiency and compliance in your company.
Integrated management system: Efficient solutions for quality, environment and safety
The implementation of an integrated management system often begins with an existing system into which additional systems are gradually integrated. Early planning and careful elaboration of the current management system are crucial in this process.
A holistic approach for sustainable success
An integrated management system combines various aspects of corporate management such as quality, environmental protection, energy efficiency, occupational safety, social standards and occupational health. In addition, information security and risk management play a central role. This comprehensive approach enables a balanced consideration of economic, ecological and social factors, leading to a long-term successful and sustainable company.
Our support in networking management systems
HSE-Ingenieure GmbH supports you in integrating and networking the following management systems:
- ISO 50001 – energy management
- ISO 14001 – environmental management
- ISO 45001 – workplace safety
In addition to legal requirements, the ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 standards place particular emphasis on management responsibility. Compliance with laws and regulations continues to be a priority in order to continuously improve occupational health and safety, environmental protection and energy awareness.
Optimised processes and increased legal certainty
The implementation of an integrated management system not only optimises internal processes, but also analyses and improves working conditions along the entire value chain. This leads to the fulfilment of the strict requirements of customers, suppliers and employees, increases legal certainty and automatically improves the company’s image.
Internal management system audits: expert support for your success
Internal audits are an essential part of the requirements of the ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001 and EMAS standards.
