ISO 14001 Environmental Management

Balance between economy and ecology

… for all organizations building their company philosophy on an active environmental management while documenting their environmental activities.

 

Since its publication in 1996, more than 150,000 organizations world-wide have an implemented and certified management system according to ISO 14001. This increasing popularity demonstrates that any organization or business sector can benefit from the positive impact. Due to their own positive experiences, many ISO 14001 certified companies are asking their suppliers for this kind of certification in turn, particularly in the area of automotive supply.

On account of the standard’s compatibility with ISO 9001 (quality management), an increasing number of organizations choose to implement integrated management systems, in order to take advantage of the synergies. Environmental, quality, and occupational health and safety management systems (BS OHSAS 18001) are fundamental tools of corporate management; their use demonstrates acceptance of responsibility, and the intention to prevent the waste of resources.
