ISO 14001- Environmental Management System

ISO 14001:2015 specifies requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to improve its environmental performance. ISO 14001:2015 is designed for use by an organization that aims to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic way that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.

ISO 14001:2015 helps an organization achieve the intended results of its environmental management system, and these results provide value for the environment, the organization and interested parties. In line with the organization’s environmental policy, intended results of an environmental management system include:

· Increasing environmental performance;

· Fulfilling compliance obligations;

· Fulfilling compliance obligations;

ISO 14001:2015 is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and structure, and applies to the environmental aspects of activities, products and services that the organization has determined it can control or influence, taking into account a life cycle perspective. ISO 14001:2015 does not specify specific environmental performance criteria.

ISO 14001:2015 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. However, claims of conformity to ISO 14001:2015 cannot be accepted unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization’s environmental management system and fulfilled without exception.
