Environmental Management
Managing your organization’s impact on the environment should be a key priority for your business, regardless of the industry you are in. An environment management system (EMS) is a set of procedures and practices that enable an organization to reduce its environmental impacts and improve its operating efficiency. It can be used by any organization that wishes to set up, improve or maintain an environmental management system to conform to its established environmental policy and requirements.
ISO 14001:2015 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system. This helps your organization to control the environmental impacts, reduce wastes and ensure legal compliance. Requirements of the standard can be incorporated into any environmental management system, the extent to which is determined by several factors including the organization’s environmental policy, products & service offerings and location.
