  • 1.  Plant Level Data of ISO 14001 certification

    I'm working with a colleague to utilize a combination of secondary data sources regarding manufacturing firms from the electronics, chemicals, metals and mining, primary metals manufacturing, pulp and paper, and petroleum products industries. One variable we want to be able to capture ISO 1401 certification ideally at the plant level or if necessary at the firm level. Preliminary reviews of the literature show primary data collection used as a way to get to this data. Is there a credible database for ISO certified locations for North American firms?

    Thank you in advance for your help toward this matter.

    Hello Robert

    SAI Global is the largest certification/registration body in North
    America. While there are other certification bodies, SAI Global will be
    able to guide to a creadible database. www.saiglobal.com

    Let me know how you go. I may be able to help, as I am with SAI Global
    in Australia and audit organisations to these standards (from the mid
    1980s to last year I set up business management systems as a
    consultant).
