ISO 14001:2015
Environmental Management Systems
The purpose of this International Standard is to provide businesses with a framework to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions in balance with socio-economic needs. It specifies requirements that enable an business to achieve the intended outcomes it sets for its environmental management system.
A systematic approach to environmental management can provide top management with information to build success over the long term and create options for contributing to sustainable development by:
-
protecting the environment by preventing or mitigating adverse environmental impacts;
-
mitigating the potential adverse effect of environmental conditions on the organization;
-
assisting the organization in the fulfilment of compliance obligations;
-
enhancing environmental performance;
-
controlling or influencing the way the businesses products and services are designed, manufactured, distributed, consumed and disposed by using a life cycle perspective that can prevent environmental impacts from being unintentionally shifted elsewhere within the life cycle.
