Tell me more about this standard...
What is ISO 14001?
Part of the ISO 14000 family of international standards, which provide guidelines for organisations looking to manage their environmental impact, ISO 14001 is the certification that helps you design and implement an environmental management system. The framework is designed to measure and improve how organisations use and dispose of natural resources and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
The standard is generic, meaning it applies to organisations of any size and industry. From a big factory hoping to reduce its waste to a small office that's looking to cut down on gas and electricity use, the standard is suitable for all. An ISO 14001 certification shows an organisational commitment to the environment and a more efficient, conscious use of the earth's resources.
