In today’s marketplace, consumers and clients look for clear signs that the environmental processes and impacts of a business are effectively managed. Beyond showing these elements are part of your corporate management system, you need to demonstrate that they can be continually improved on. This is why ISO 14001 environmental management standard was established.
Implementation of ISO 14001 helps you minimise how your operations affect the environment such as adverse changes to air, water or land plus complying with all applicable laws, regulations and other requirements.
ISO 14001 is widely recognized as a “generic environmental management system standard” which can be applied to any organization, large or small, whatever its product or service. The standard provides guidance to the organization in order to:
- Minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by business activities; and
- Achieve continual improvement of environmental performance.
