ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems (EMS).
It provides a framework and guidelines that organizations can follow to establish and maintain effective environmental management practices.
The ISO 14001 standard sets out criteria for identifying and managing environmental aspects, implementing proactive measures to minimize environmental impacts, complying with applicable environmental regulations, and continually improving environmental performance.
Key elements of ISO 14001 include:
-
Environmental Policy: Organizations are required to establish an environmental policy that outlines their commitment to environmental protection, compliance with applicable regulations, and continual improvement.
-
Planning: Organizations must identify and assess their environmental aspects, define objectives and targets for improving environmental performance, and develop plans to achieve those objectives.
-
Implementation and Operation: This phase involves implementing the planned measures, establishing operational controls, conducting training and awareness programs, and ensuring effective communication both internally and externally.
-
Checking and Corrective Action: Organizations are required to monitor and measure their environmental performance, conduct internal audits, and take corrective actions to address non-conformities and improve environmental performance.
-
Management Review: Top management conducts periodic reviews of the EMS to ensure its continued suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness, and to drive improvement initiatives.
