What is ISO 14001:2015
ISO 14001:2015 is the globally recognized standard for environmental management systems, offering organizations a framework to align with corporate sustainability objectives. Certification in ISO 14001:2015 demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility and establishes a structured and comprehensive approach to sustainability.
The standard requires organizations to identify their environmental aspects and impacts then set objectives and targets aligned with your processes to achieve your goals. ISO 14001:2015 is also based on the plan-do-check-act cycle, like ISO 9001:2015, and can be integrated with other quality or health & safety management system standards or managed as a stand-alone system.
ISO 14001:2015 is a great tool to assure focus on regulatory compliance and also requires a broader consideration to drive continual improvement of environmental performance to reach your sustainability goals.
