Case Study: Provincie Antwerpen achieves region-wide environmental best practices with LRQA ISO 14001 certification

Provincie Antwerpen shares environmental best practices across 40 municipalities with LRQA

Provincie Antwerpen, a local government authority in Belgium, sought to formalize its ad hoc environmental strategy and drive best practices across its region. The organization engaged LRQA to achieve certification to the ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system standard, aiming to enhance its credibility, realize cost savings, and move toward carbon neutrality.

LRQA's support enabled Provincie Antwerpen to successfully achieve ISO 14001 certification and integrate environmental objectives into its core operations. The results included significant cost savings through accurate monitoring of resource consumption, the sharing of best practices with 40 participating municipalities, and a commitment to a new BREEAM-certified headquarters. LRQA's independent assessment provided the credibility to demonstrate these environmental credentials to both internal and external stakeholders.
