ISO 14001:2015 - Environmental Management System (EMS)

ISO 14001 "Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use" is a voluntary international standard applicable to any type of public or private organisation, which specifies the requirements of an environmental management system. 

ISO 14001 certification helps identify, manage and monitor the environmental impacts of an organisation’s activities. By improving its environmental performance and its processes, every organisation can benefit from certification, because it helps build customers’ trust and helps keep control of the business’s responsibilities in relation to sustainability and the environment.

The benefits of ISO 14001:2015 certification

Certifying your Environmental Management System to ISO 14001 is a strategically valuable operation. An Environmental Management System enables organisations to pursue objectives and implement policies that take account of legal requirements and information relating to significant environmental aspects. Specifically, developing an Environmental Management System certified to UNI EN ISO 14001, enables companies to manage the environmental aspects of their processes systemically, with a view to enhancing efficiency and environmental performance, thus reaping various benefits, including:

• reducing operating costs by streamlining the use of raw materials
• reducing waste and emissions
• cutting energy costs
• reducing insurance premiums
• monitoring fulfilment of the relevant legal requirements
• fast-tracking permit applications to regulatory authorities
• protecting the environment and making informed use of resources
• improving your business's image among stakeholders.
