Environmental
Management
The global framework for managing environmental responsibilities systematically, reducing environmental impact and improving sustainability.
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an environmental management system (EMS).
It provides a framework that an organisation can follow to set up an effective environmental management system. It can be used by any organisation regardless of its activity or sector, and provides assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders.
ISO 14001 helps organisations improve their environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste, gaining a competitive advantage and the trust of stakeholders.
