ISO 14001

ISO 14001 is an international standard for environmental management.  The focus of ISO 14001 is to prevent harm to the environment and to avoid breaching environmental legislation.  A business that follows ISO 14001 achieves these goals while, at the same time, reducing operating costs.

 

 
 

ISO 14001 environmental management systems

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised environmental standard that provides a framework for a business to manage the effect that it has on the environment and on living things that may come into contact with it.  The standard does this by helping the business to understand society’s expectations, the resources that it uses and the wastes that it produces.  ISO 14001 can be used as a base on which to develop a broader management system for sustainability and integrates easily with ISO 9001 & ISO 45001.

The focus of a business using ISO 14001 is risk management & prevention of harm.  Doing this in the right way can help a business to:-

  • Reduce operating costs
  • Win and retain customers
  • Improve relationships with regulators and neighbours
  • Prevent breaches of legislation
  • Improve staff morale
