Management Systems Development Implementation and Auditing
One of our core services has always been the provision of assistance with the development of environmental management systems. We now have an enviable reputation of well over a hundred certifications to ISO 14001 and/or EMAS, with a 100% first time certification success rate. These range from simple, traditional systems for small single-site companies to complex online multi-site multi-user systems for large multinational groups.
We have developed various integrated management systems covering two or more of quality, environmental, and health & safety. These are certified to ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 (and/or EMAS) and OHSAS 18001:2007 and can be integrated using the PAS 99 standard. Around three-quarters of the requirements of the three main standards are the same, so integrating them reduces bureaucracy considerably. We also offer assistance with ISO 50001, the primary method of meeting ESOS requirements.

PPC Permits, Waste Management and Environmental Permitting
Ecodyn has successfully applied for Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) Permits on behalf of around 70 clients, all "duly made" on first submission. We also act on behalf of client companies to negotiate with environmental regulators, ensuring that regulation and enforcement is appropriate, constructive and consistent across the country. Our ability to take a holistic, unbiased view of materials, processes, facilities, utilities, waste streams and sensitive environmental receptors is invaluable in allowing commercial and environmental concerns to coexist.
Outsourced Environmental Management
Increasingly, we find that client companies require a formal EMS (e.g as a requirement of legislation, to qualify for tenders or simply to manage environmental performance) but they lack the internal resources to maintain such a system. Our outsourced environmental management service provides a cost-effective way for your company to benefit from having the environmental expertise of our entire team at your disposal as your Environmental Manager.

Ecodyn offers bespoke training courses to suit our individual clients' needs. These typically include environmental awareness training, induction training and internal auditing training for organisations implementing Environmental Management Systems. We also provide training solutions to help clients meet the requirements of environmental regulations, for example.

We have a wealth of experience in delivering these courses across various sectors and have a great deal of training materials and tools that can be used by our clients.
Ecodyn has also developed a range of action-based training programmes to assist companies with performance improvement (for example: resource efficiency, lean manufacturing, carbon footprinting). The format of these courses is very hands-on and typically involves facilitation of improvement programmes as well as sharing best practices.
Water Licensing
Many of our industrial and agricultural clients have obligations under the Controlled Activities Regulations (CAR) in Scotland and we have helped them by completing licencing applications on their behalf, assisting with any reporting required and providing onsite advice. We have also helped them develop systems to monitor their water use as well as implement measures to reduce water wastage.
