What is ISO 14001
Certification and
its requirement?

ISO 14000 refers to a family of standards for the design, implementation, and optimization of an environmental management system (EMS) for businesses and organizations. The ISO 14000 family was first developed due to a rising need for standard operating procedures and policies for businesses to use to build their own EMS..

The entire environmental issues of an organization can be identified and controlled by the ISO 14001 certification. The objective of ISO 14001 certification is to decrease the number of wastages produced by the company and to reduce the environmental pollution to the least amount.

Here are the six core elements of an EMS, according to the ISO 14001 standard:

  • Environmental policy
  • Planning
  • Implementation
  • Study & correct
  • Management review
  • Continuous improvement

Why ISO 14000 is important?

In today’s global economy, ISO 14000 is crucial for tackling economic, environmental and social aspects, or the so-called “triple-bottom line” of how they function. Utilizing ISO 14000 can help to gain advantages in finance, insurance, marketing, regulation, and a wide range of interdisciplinary areas.

The standards help organizations prepare with a proactive approach, as opposed to a reactive one, and totally assess their environmental impact, even addressing certain factors that may be unregulated, such as energy or resource allocation.
