Certification under the ISO 14001 standard establishes an important tool for companies to showcase their work by having an impartial, accredited third party substantiate their management commitment to environmental integrity. Companies achieving accredited certification from an IAS-accredited MSCB enhance their credibility to industry, national, state and municipal regulators and ultimately consumers.

AVU's registration of companies to ISO-14001, shows not only that companies comply with environmental regulations, but that they also have systems in place to continually reduce their environmental footprint.
