Environmental Management Systems - ISO 14000
 

Back

  
  • ISO 14000, released in 1996, is a global series of environmental management systems (EMS) standards, providing a framework for organizations to demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility.
  • An EMS enables an organization to control the environmental aspects and impacts of its activities, products and services by establishing targets and objectives related to identified environmental management goals. Once implemented, an EMS will improve compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements, reduce exposure to liability, prevent pollution, reduce waste and create a more positive public image.
  • Organizations that register to ISO 14001, the most important of the ISO 14000 standards, demonstrate sound environmental management practices, are able to prevent environmental disasters and government sanctions, and experience fewer regulatory audits by correcting environmental problems. ISO 14000 supporting documents include environmental labeling, life-cycle assessment, environmental aspects in product standards, and environmental performance evaluation.
