ISO 14001: 2015 Environment Management Systems
The ISO 14001 Environment Management System (EMS) standard is an internationally recognised systematic framework to manage the immediate and long term environmental impacts of an organisation’s products, services and processes.
The ISO 14001 EMS Standard certification is achieved for an organisation by the development of policies, protocols and procedures to ensure that its impacts on the environment are kept to a minimum.
EcoAdvise has extensive experience and expertise on successful implementation of EMS in organisations.
Establishing an EMS in an organisation results in achieving cost savings from resources utilisation, waste and energy management programs, quantify, monitor and control the impact to the environment by its operations, ensure legislative awareness and compliance, improved environmental performance of supply chain which will benefit in developing the corporate image and credibility, and increase access to business partners and potential customers.

Productivity Improvement & Innovation.
How to drive greater productivity is an issue at the heart of every business.
How can we achieve more with the same or less, how to drive the synergistic effect?
Australia’s labour productivity growth has halved since the 1970s. A recent study by Mercer in partnership with the World Economic Forum ranks Australia 96th of the 122 countries in its Pay Related to Productivity score.
Japan has been in the forefront in productivity improvement and innovation.
There are many productivity improvement techniques and innovation approaches that have been developed in Japan and attracted much attention from the rest of the world.
One of the best examples is Toyota Production System, which is accepted and applied globally.
EcoAdvise Director Dr Hilary Nath was awarded a scholarship from the Association of Overseas Technical Scholarships in Japan to study and experience the productivity improvement and innovation strategies applied in the Japanese industries where he gained first-hand experience at the Toyota Motor Corporation’s Kyushu production facility which is a zero emission factory producing Lexus cars for the USA market.
Dr Hilary Nath has been active in promoting Japanese productivity improvement and innovation strategies in the industry and achieved Japanese 5S and Kaizen Awards to organisations.
He has developed an excellent workshop/seminar to drive Japanese productivity improvement and innovation strategies to your organisation which will bring about the following:
- Understand and analyse productivity drivers in your organisation
- Develop leaders who drive productivity improvement and innovation
- Motivate your workforce that enables productive business growth
- Creating an organisation geared for productive growth and innovation

Environmental Science Education – Peel Harvey Estuary.
In a time where children are disconnected from nature, EcoAdvise recognizes the importance of making a real investment in environmental and sustainability education.
Future leaders need to be prepared for tomorrow's challenges, and we must sufficiently prepare our children for the future that they will inherit.
Environmental and sustainability education allows children to understand, appreciate and be passionate about our surrounding ecosystems and to take right decisions now and when they become future business and political leaders of this country.
Achieving this would be the most effective environmental management strategy for a nation.
In the Peel Region we have a unique environment that comprises some of the most biologically productive ecosystems on Earth – the Peel Harvey Estuary.
Peel Harvey Estuary provides sheltered habitat, nursery and spawning areas for fish, crabs, prawns and shellfish.
The estuary helps to filter pollutants, acting as a buffer to protect shoreline from erosion and flooding and providing essential food and habitat for birds, fish and other wildlife.
Studies have shown environmental and sustainability education engages students in learning, raising test scores, and encouraging youth to pursue careers in environmental and natural resources.
EcoAdvise has developed a school science program on the rich Peel Harvey Estuarine ecosystem in consultation with the regions school science teachers targeting the primary school students and will be offered as an incursion (seminar/workshop).
Services Provided:
- School Science Program on Peel Harvey Estuary – for primary school students offered as an incursion (Seminar / Workshop)
