ISO 14001 is an international Standard that specifies a process for controlling and improving a company’s environmental performance.
An Environmental Management System is a means of ensuring that your organisation continually considers all aspects of its business operations that can or could have an impact on the environment – primarily in terms of pollution.
The Benefits
Benefits that many organisations have achieved from working with ISO 14001 include:
- Reduced costs and wastage
- Help to identify and manage legal requirements
- Opportunity to promote environmental credentials to the outside world
- Competitive advantage
- Raised profile amongst local community and potential customers
- A framework to identify the impact of business operations on the environment
