ISO 14001 environmental management system
ISO 14001 is an international standard that helps organisations establish and implement an effective environmental management system (EMS). The aim of ISO 14001 is to help companies identify, manage and reduce environmental risks, while complying with legal requirements and promoting sustainability.
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 provides a framework for establishing an environmental management system aimed at reducing an organisation's environmental footprint. It includes identifying environmental aspects, setting environmental objectives, monitoring performance and striving for continuous improvement. By complying with ISO 14001, an organisation demonstrates its commitment to environmental management and sustainable business practices.
Benefits for companies
ISO 14001 certification offers companies several benefits. Not only does it increase environmental awareness and compliance with laws and regulations, but it can also lead to cost savings through more efficient use of resources and waste management. Moreover, it improves an organisation's reputation by showing that it actively contributes to environmental protection, which in turn can increase customer loyalty.
ISO 14001 and procurement
Like ISO 9001, ISO 14001 can play a decisive role in tenders, especially when sustainability criteria play an important role. More and more government organisations and companies are imposing the requirement to integrate environmental management into their operations. ISO 14001 certification sends a clear signal to potential clients that your organisation is committed to environmental protection and sustainability.
