Hicomply has completely transformed the way that we manage our ISO27001 certification. We purchased Hicomply a few months before our re-certification was due. Zoe worked with us to set up everything up and show us how to use the platform most efficiently. She has been an amazing support to myself and my colleague as we navigated through this process.

What's the difference between ISO 14001 and other environmental standards?
ISO 14001 is the international environmental management standard that works across all industries. Unlike sector-specific standards or regional requirements, it's globally recognised and focuses on systematic environmental management rather than just compliance checklists.
How does ISO 14001 relate to ESG reporting?
ISO 14001 provides the management system foundation for environmental ESG reporting. It gives you the data collection, monitoring, and improvement processes that make ESG compliance manageable rather than a quarterly scramble.
Who actually needs ISO 14001 certification?
Companies with customers asking about environmental impact, businesses preparing for ESG reporting requirements, and organisations where "what's your environmental policy?" is becoming a regular procurement question. It's particularly valuable for supply chain partners and B2B services.
How long does ISO 14001 implementation take?
Implementation timeframes vary widely depending on organisation size and existing processes. Traditional manual approaches can take 6-18 months. Hicomply's automation significantly reduces this timeline by handling documentation and evidence collection automatically.
What are the main ISO 14001 requirements?
You need an Environmental Management System (EMS) covering environmental aspects, legal compliance, objectives and targets, and operational controls. The key is proving you identify environmental impacts and systematically manage them. Less green theatre, more measurable results.
What's the difference between ISO 14001:2015 and earlier versions?
ISO 14001:2015 strengthened climate change considerations and improved integration with business strategy. It's more focused on business value and less on bureaucratic processes. Much more practical.
What environmental aspects do tech companies need to manage?
Energy consumption (especially data centres), electronic waste, carbon emissions from operations and supply chain, and increasingly, the environmental impact of cloud services. Less about smokestacks, more about modern business impacts.
How does ISO 14001 help with customer requirements?
Many enterprise buyers now require environmental management certification as standard procurement criteria. It's moving from "nice to have" to "table stakes" for B2B relationships, particularly in Europe.
What's the ongoing commitment for ISO 14001?
Annual surveillance audits, three-yearly recertification, and continuous environmental monitoring. With automated tracking, this becomes routine rather than annual panic. Plus you're always ready when customers ask for environmental performance data.
How does Hicomply simplify ISO 14001 compliance?
We automate environmental data collection, compliance tracking, and policy management. Your team handles environmental improvements and strategic decisions, not administrative overhead. Environmental management that doesn't slow you down.
