The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) is an independent international organisation comprising 165 national standards bodies, bringing together experts from across the globe to share their expertise to create international standards, including ISO 14001.
But what is ISO 14001?
Environmental management systems are regulated by ISO 14001, meaning an ISO 14001 certification will prove your company’s environmental management policies and procedures comply with international standards.
The universal ISO 14000 series was developed to make comparing the environmental effects of different companies more straightforward, as prior to this individual organisations created their own environmental management systems, making comparison between different companies virtually impossible. Now, with the implementation of the ISO 14000 series, organisations now have a standardised system for measuring the compliance and effectiveness of their environmental management systems.
ISO 14001 certifies organisations that can demonstrate they have implemented environmental management plans to help minimise their business’ risk to the environment. ISO 14001 aims to continually upgrade and improve the certified organisation’s environmental management system, ensuring its processes and procedures are as environmentally sound as possible.
ISO 14001 will help your business achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system. Applied in support of your environmental policy, an environmental management system can have a great impact on your business. Some of the benefits of ISO 14001 include:
The standard can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve your environmental management system. Claims of conformity to ISO 14001, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into your environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion.
To find out more about how ISO 14001 can benefit your organisation
As we face the challenges of climate change and other environmental issues along with changing attitudes and increasing demand for environmental responsibility from businesses of all kinds, obtaining ISO 14001 has become more important than ever.
ISO 14001 is applicable to any organisation, regardless of size, scope and sector. Over 300,000 companies and organisations across the world are certified to ISO 14001, from small-scale businesses to international giants. Every organisation from single-site operations to multinationals can benefit from ISO 14001certification.
ISO 14001 is what’s known as a generic management system standard which means it is applicable to any business wanting to minimise its environmental impact, manage its resources efficiently and improve its processes. It applies to public and private sector industries, local governments, manufacturers, supplies, service industries, both high risk and low-risk businesses — virtually any organisation that wants to make its operations more efficient and less harmful to the environment.
