ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certification

The ISO 14001 environmental management system standard specifies a process for the control and the continuous improvement of an organisation’s environmental performance. The ISO 14001 standard was developed in Amsterdam by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1996. The ISO 14001 standard develops a strategic approach to an organisation's environmental policy, plans and actions. It does not specify environmental performance criteria but simply how to develop an ISO 14001 environmental management system.

Benefits of ISO 14001 :

• Committing to social responsibilities.
• Reduced risk and environmental liabilities
• Improved health and safety conditions for employees and communities
• Achieving environmental commitments and environmental policy requirements
• Enhanced marketing capabilities and corporate image
• Promoting a positive environmental image with customers, and increasing demand for products and services

ISO 14001 environmental management systems are the most recognised systems. By choosing ISO 14001 organisations can be easily recognised for their environmental management efforts.
