ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System
What is Environmental Management System?
ISO 14000 is a management system standard, just like ISO 9001. The main points in this standard are; evaluation of environmental risks, monitoring of environmental performance, continuous improvement and compliance with legal requirements.
An environmental management system, often called EMS, consists of policies, processes, plans, applications, and records that define the rules that govern how your company interacts with the environment. This system needs to be adapted to your own company, because only your company will have full legal requirements and environmental interactions that match your specific business processes. However, the requirements for ISO 14001 provide a framework and guidelines for building your environmental management system so that you don’t miss the key elements required for a EMS to succeed.
