ISO 14001 software for companies with many sites

21RISK is ISO 14001 software for groups that run one environmental management system across many sites. Sites record what audits and site walks turn up, linked to the clause it affects. Your EMS team approves each plan and each fix, and sees which clauses still have no control.

Questions by site

Every clause at every site, on one screen

Put the ISO 14001 clauses on a compliance standards board, and each site answers each clause with your own statuses. Clauses are rows, sites are columns, and the weak spots show before the auditor finds them.

Where a multi-site system loses track

One certificate, many sites, and the follow-up in between

The certification body samples a few sites at each visit. The system holds only if every site follows up its findings the same way, all year.

Every site reports in its own file

Each site describes its part of the system in its own report or spreadsheet. Seeing which clauses are weak across the group means reading all of them.

Corrective actions live in email

A nonconformity from the internal audit becomes a row in a spreadsheet and a reminder in an inbox. Who agreed the plan, and when, is hard to show.

The trail the auditor asks for

Which clause did it affect? Who approved the fix? Was it checked? The answers sit in three places, or with one person.

How it works

From finding to closed nonconformity, at every site

Register only what needs attention, link it to its clause, and let one workflow carry it to closed.

  1. 01

    Adopt ISO 14001

    Add the ISO 14001:2015 template: clauses 4 to 10 with their 28 requirements, and suggested controls already mapped to them. Mark what does not apply, with the reason.

  2. 02

    Register findings at the site

    Internal audits, site walks and certification audits land on one findings board. Each finding is linked to the control it affects, and through it to the ISO 14001 clause.

  3. 03

    Approve the plan, then the fix

    Set up your own statuses, such as plan proposed, plan approved and awaiting review. Status rules let only your EMS team approve a plan or close a finding.

One site list

The environmental work and the insurance work on the same sites

21RISK started with property insurance. ISO 14001 runs on the same site list, so the EMS team and the risk manager keep one set of sites, people and access.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does 21RISK certify us to ISO 14001?

No. Certification is done by an accredited certification body. 21RISK keeps the findings, the approvals and the history your auditor asks to see, but it does not certify anything.

Which version of ISO 14001 does the template follow?

ISO 14001:2015, clauses 4 to 10. ISO 14001:2026 was published in April 2026, with a transition period of about three years for certified organizations. Everything in your copy of the framework stays editable.

Does it work for ISO 45001 too?

Yes. ISO 45001:2018 is a ready-made template as well, with 33 requirements and its own suggested controls. Clauses 4 to 10 share their structure with ISO 14001, so a control such as your internal audit programme counts for both.

Do our sites have to answer a long checklist?

No. A compliance standards board can hold one question per clause, 26 for ISO 14001, and each site answers them with your own statuses. The details go on the findings board, each finding linked to its clause. Answers can expire, so a clause comes back each year with fresh evidence.

Does “have a control” mean we comply?

No. Coverage shows that each applicable requirement has a control. Whether the control works is what your audits show, and the findings linked to it are where that shows up.

Who sees which findings?

Board access decides who can open the findings board, and site access decides which sites each person works with. A site manager works on the findings for their own site, while the EMS team sees every site.

What does 21RISK not do for ISO 14001?

It does not collect emissions, energy or waste figures, and it has no legal register or aspects register of its own. 21RISK covers the follow-up: findings, approvals, controls and the policies behind them.

Run ISO 14001 on every site

Findings, approvals and coverage per clause, on the same platform as your sites, audits and insurance.
