Benefits of ISO-14001:2015 Certification
This internationally agreed standard sets out the requirements for an environmental management system.
The standard provides a framework for:
- Identifying environmental issues and implementing improvement performance measures that can result in waste reduction, compliance with legal requirements and improved organisational reputation.
- Including environmental issues within the top business objectives of the business.
As ISO 14001 follows a common high level structure, it will more easily integrate with other Management System standards including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 27001:2013.
