Environmental Management System
Requirements
What is ISO 14001?
The ISO 14001 standard for Environmental Management systems requires organizations to adopt a risk-based approach to environmental management in order to ensure environmental sustainability and continuous improvement of environmental performance, where possible. Based on the same higher-level structure that all ISO management system standards follow, ISO 14001 is not a prescriptive document, but rather establishes requirements that allow organizations to achieve the intended results that they set for their environmental management system.
