ISO 14001:2015

Environmental Management Standard

ISO 14001:2015 specifies the requirement for an environmental management system for an organisation. The objective of this Standard is to prepare organizations with a structure to protect the environment and prepare themself for changing environmental conditions in correspondence with socio-economic needs. ISO 14001 is intended for organisations seeking to contribute toward environmental responsibilities. This system is applicable to organisations regardless of their size and nature. It applies to the environmental aspect of the activities, processes and products in an organisation. ISO 14001 helps organisations to identify, control, manage and monitor their environmental issues in a comprehensive manner.

Consistent with the organization’s environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include:

• Protecting the environment by taking intense measures;
• controlling the production procedures, distributions, storage, as well as consumption to reduce any adverse environmental effects;
• fulfilment of compliance obligations;
• enhancing environmental performance;
• communicating environmental information to interested parties;

How to get ISO 14001 Certified?

There are many ways to implement an environmental management policy, but the best way is to get certified with ISO 14001. Certification provides you with credentials that grow your business in an environmental and economically sustainable manner. In addition to doing something better for the environment, getting EMS certification can also provide you with greater control over costs and other tangible benefits. The process of getting certified involves designing and implementing the environmental management system (EMS). You need to have an ISO-approved auditor perform a full audit of the system. This audit will need substantial documentation and a monitoring system. The auditor may have suggestions that need to be met before you get certified.
