What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). The standard provides a framework for organizations to manage their environmental issues.
Not only are consumers, investors, and partners looking for ISO 14001 certification, but certification is quickly becoming a requirement across certain manufacturing and resource industries. Beyond the positive impacts on your brand, implementation of the EMS can be highly cost effective, dramatically reducing your organizations environmental footprint.
In addition, compliance with the ISO 14001 certification is quickly becoming the standard for due diligence in any legal action related to an organization’s environmental impact. Beyond the benefits of risk management, demonstrating that an EMS is in place can be a critical first step in assessing liability. The costs of implementing the ISO standard are often far outweighed by the liability exposure resulting from incomplete, or ad hoc procedures.
