Who does ISO 14001:2015 Apply To?
Environmental Management Systems are relevant to all organisations large or small, public or private, manufacturing or service.
ISO14001:2015 is an internationally recognised environmental management system standard. It provides a framework for the effective management of an organisations impacts on the environment including compliance with the environmental legislation.
How the organisation can benefit from ISO14001:2015
- Improving an organisation’s efficiency by reducing the consumption of resources through improvements in energy and water usage and through waste minimisation, leading to increased profitability.
- Minimising the risk of regulatory and environmental liability fines and reducing the risk of non-compliance with legislation and subsequent costs/prosecution.
- Reductions in the risk of pollution incidents and other releases to the environment and therefore avoidance of unnecessary clean-up costs and/or enforcement action by regulatory bodies.
- Over the last decade customers are requiring organisations adopt stricter environmental regulations and practices, making certification to ISO 14001 a greater necessity for the long-term viability of businesses and providing them with a competitive advantage and improved brand image.
- Improving an organizations ability to win more business, particularly where procurement specifications require certification to ISO14001 as a condition to supply and PQQ requirements.
- As an internationally recognized standard, businesses operating in multiple locations across the globe can register as ISO 14001 compliant, eliminating the need for multiple registrations or certifications.
- A consistent approach to procedures and processes by developing “best practices”.
- Organisations improve their ability to win more business, particularly where procurement specifications require certification as a condition to supply and PQQ requirements.
