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

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.
