What is ISO 14001:2015
ISO 14001 is a worldwide standard, used to set up and certify environmental management systems. The standard constitutes a useful management system for evaluating, improving and reporting environmental performance and monitoring compliance with environmental legislation. Not only the environmental aspects of the organisation itself, but also the impact on our stakeholders is considered.
ISO 14001 is characterised by:
- Its international nature and is therefore not based on national legislation
- Protection of the environment
- Continuous improvement of environmental performance
- Control of environmental risks
- Connection to other standards so that care for quality, environment and safety can be managed in one system
By integrating the Plan Do Check Act philosophy, ISO 14001 encourages continuous improvement in the context of environmental care. As an organisation, we do this through creating and following up on an annual action plan.
