What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems (EMS). It helps organizations identify and manage their environmental impacts, meet applicable environmental obligations and continually improve environmental performance.
The standard can support better resource management, waste reduction, environmental risk management and structured monitoring of environmental objectives.
