What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems (EMS) and is the most widely used EMS standard in the world, with over 250,000 certificates issued worldwide.
ISO 14001 is a basic management systems standard that sets out specific requirements for the formulation and maintenance of an Environmental Management System (EMS). This helps you control your environmental aspects, reduce their impact and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
ISO 14001 is accompanied by ISO 14004 Environmental management systems – general guidance on principles, systems and methods for implementation. The standard covers issues such as the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of an EMS.
