ISO 14000 is a series of international standards that address environmental management issues.
An environmental management system (EMS), as defined in ISO 14001, is the part of an organization’s overall management system that pertains to the development, implementation, achievement, review, and maintenance of the organization’s environmental policy. According to ISO 14000 certification standards, an EMS is intended to provide a framework for companies to ensure they can effectively manage and reduce their environmental impact.
For many industries, environmental concerns are at the forefront of corporate issues today. Having a documented environmental management system ensures that your policies are effectively understood and implemented, and that your environmental management system is an integral part of your overall management system.
