What is ISO 14001:2015?
ISO 14001:2015 is the internationally recognized standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). It provides a structured framework that helps organizations manage their environmental responsibilities in a systematic, measurable, and sustainable way.
The standard focuses on minimizing environmental impact, complying with legal and regulatory requirements, and continuously improving environmental performance. It promotes a lifecycle perspective and encourages organizations to proactively address risks and opportunities related to environmental aspects.
ISO 14001 is applicable to organizations of all types and sizes, across manufacturing, services, public sector, and beyond. It can be integrated with other management system standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 45001.
