Protecting the environment is an important business issue. Many organisations now require their suppliers to have specific environmental management plans. Implementing ISO 14001 policies will enable you to demonstrate to customers and stakeholders that your business is committed to reducing its environmental impact.
The ISO 14001 standard provides you with an internationally recognised framework for setting up an environmental management system (EMS). Any organisation can use the standard to reduce waste, improve resource efficiency and cut waste management costs.
ISO 14001 is the most important standard in the ISO 14000 series of environmental management standards. The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has developed this series for businesses and other organisations looking to reduce their environmental impact.

The ISO reviews and revises its standards periodically to ensure they remain current and relevant to the market. The latest revision of the ISO 14001 standard is ISO 14001 : 2015. It reflects the latest business trends in environmental management, as well as ensuring compatibility with other widely used management systems such as ISO 9001.
The updated ISO 14001 : 2015 framework provides organisations with a systematic approach to environmental management. It sets out how an organisation can implement policies that protect the environment and how it can respond to changing environmental conditions.
Gaining ISO 14001 : 2015 certification can reassure managers, employees and other stakeholders that an organisation is measuring and reducing its environmental impact.
The ISO 14001 framework does not include requirements for environmental performance. Instead, it enables an organisation to meet the demands of customers and regulators for it to fulfil its corporate responsibility and its legal obligations.
