Integrated Management System (IMS) Consultants for ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001
Integrated management system consulting that combines two or more of your ISO systems, quality, environmental, safety, energy and beyond, into one lean, certifiable whole. Consulting, internal audit and training, from an IFC (World Bank Group) approved independent consultant.
Overview
Your Preferred Integrated Management System Consultant
Most organisations run ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 as separate systems, managed in isolation, document-heavy and duplicated. An integrated management system brings them into one framework. We establish, implement, maintain and improve it, and support your certification, in the most efficient way.
What You Get
Three IMS Consulting Service Options
Whatever combination of standards you integrate, we support you three ways: consulting to certification, outsourced internal audit, and training.
1 IMS Consulting for Certification
End-to-end support to design, document, implement and certify your integrated system, available as two options.
Planning, Documentation and Implementation
An integrated manual, processes and procedures, applicability and risk assessment of each standard, implementation hand-holding, training and internal audit, taking you all the way to certification.
Certification and System Maintenance
An ongoing managed service: document upgrades, team competence building, support for internal auditing and management review, and facilitation through your certification body's surveillance and recertification audits.
2 IMS Internal Audit (Outsourced First-Party)
Independent first-party internal auditing of your integrated system, delivered remote, on-site or hybrid, as a preparedness and improvement check before your external audit.
3 IMS Training
Awareness, implementation and internal auditor courses that build the capability to run and audit your integrated system in-house, for all levels of your team.

Understanding IMS
What Is an Integrated Management System?
An integrated management system combines two or more of an organisation's separate ISO management systems, most commonly ISO 9001 quality, ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety, into one single system of management. The result is leaner, more effective and easier to follow than running several systems in parallel.
Integration is possible because these standards now share the harmonized structure, identical core text, terms and definitions, formerly known as Annex SL. That shared backbone, described in ISO 14001 and its sister standards, is what lets a new standard slot into an established system.
Certification to an IMS is not mandatory, but it is a powerful way to be more efficient and cost-effective. As an independent IMS consultant, Consultivo facilitates certification on your behalf while staying independent of the certification body's decision.
One system means less audit disruption, cost-effective implementation and audit planning, and combined audit reporting. On average, organisations save 20 to 40 percent of resources by implementing, certifying and maintaining two or more standards together.

FAQ
Integrated Management System, Your Questions Answered
What is an integrated management system (IMS)?
An IMS consolidates two or more of an organisation's separate management systems, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, into one single system of management. It is leaner, more effective and easier to follow than several separate systems, and it avoids duplication by streamlining similar processes. Integration is enabled by the harmonized structure (formerly Annex SL) that these ISO standards now share.
Which ISO standards can be integrated, and can I integrate just two?
Yes, you can integrate as few as two. Most commonly organisations combine ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety), and many add ISO 50001 (energy), ISO 22000 (food safety) or ISO 27001 (information security). Because the standards share a harmonized structure, almost any combination of two or more can be integrated into one system.
What are the benefits of an IMS?
The main benefits are reduced disruption from multiple audits, cost-effective implementation and audit planning, and combined audit reporting. On average, organisations save 20 to 40 percent of resources when they implement, certify and maintain two or more standards together, rather than running them separately.
Does Consultivo issue ISO certification?
No. As an independent IMS consultant, Consultivo does not issue certificates. We facilitate the certification process on your behalf while maintaining independence from the decision-making of the certification body, so our advice stays genuinely in your interest.
Can Consultivo support us remotely to implement or maintain an IMS?
Yes. We deliver fully remote support through digital tools, fully on-site support through one-to-one interaction, and hybrid support combining both. The mode is chosen to suit your sites, your timeline and your team.
Does Consultivo conduct first-party internal audits on behalf of customers?
Yes. We conduct regular first-party internal audits of ISO systems on behalf of organisations, remotely or hybrid, worldwide. Our consultants help your internal audit team improve the existing system through a professional-quality internal audit. This is an audit service; auditor training is delivered separately through our IMS internal auditor training.
