NVIR-O-CERT, the construction-specific Environmental Management System, is now live and is open for applications.
NVIR-O-CERT has been developed by the Construction Employers Federation (CEF) and is supported by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) and the leading environmental professional body, the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).
The scheme provides a route for smaller construction companies to achieve environmental accreditation whilst helping larger companies to distinguish themselves as environmental leaders. The scheme aims to keep paperwork to a minimum and instead focuses on good environmental performance in practice. We have also structured the fees to provide excellent value for money.
On joining the scheme you will receive NVIR-O-CERT’s extensive range of support materials and you will be first in line to benefit from a tailored programme of environmental training and mentoring at a nominal cost.
We look forward to receiving your application but we would also encourage you to inform your subcontractors about this new opportunity. NVIR-O-CERT has the potential to give Northern Irish contractors a distinct competitive advantage by creating a supply chain where environmental accreditation is the norm.
