Frequently Asked Questions
What is EcoMerit Environmental Certification?
EcoMerit Environmental Certification is a practical framework that helps organisations measure, improve and verify their environmental performance. Designed specifically for Irish businesses and SMEs, it focuses on reducing resource consumption, improving efficiency and demonstrating a commitment to sustainability. Through a structured process of measuring, reducing, improving and verifying performance, organisations can achieve recognised certification while delivering measurable environmental and business benefits.
How is EcoMerit different from ISO14001?
Both EcoMerit and ISO 14001 promote environmental management and continuous improvement. However, EcoMerit has been specifically developed for Irish SMEs and organisations looking for a practical, independently verified and cost-effective approach to improving environmental performance.
Unlike many international certification frameworks, EcoMerit focuses on practical implementation, measurable improvements and reduced administrative complexity, helping organisations achieve meaningful sustainability outcomes without unnecessary bureaucracy.
To help you understand the differences in more detail, including implementation, ongoing support and suitability for different organisations, you can view our Environmental Certification Comparison on the Pricing & Certification Comparison page.
How much does certification cost?
EcoMerit offers a transparent pricing structure designed specifically for Irish businesses and organisations. Costs vary depending on the certification programme and your organisation’s requirements, but you’ll find an overview of what’s included, our pricing and how EcoMerit compares with other certification frameworks on our Pricing & Certification Comparison page.
If you’d like to discuss your organisation’s specific requirements, our team would be happy to arrange a consultation and recommend the most suitable certification pathway.
How long does certification take?
The certification process varies depending on the size of the organisation, the availability of information and the specific certification requirements. Many organisations can begin making improvements immediately, while certification timelines are tailored to each business. During a consultation, EcoMerit can provide a more accurate timeframe based on your organisation’s circumstances and sustainability objectives.
