ISO 14001 is an international standard that specifies a process for controlling and improving a company’s environmental performance.

ISO 14001 consists of:

• General Requirements
• Environmental Policy
• Planning
• Implementation and Operation
• Checking and Corrective Action
• Management Review

This means you:
Identify elements of your business that impact on the environment and gain access to the relevant environmental legislation.

Produce objectives for improvement and a management program to achieve them, with regular reviews for continual improvement.

An Environmental Management System provides a framework for managing environmental responsibilities so they become more efficient and more integrated into overall business operations.

Environmental Management Systems are based on standards, which specify a process of achieving continuously improved environmental performance and complying with legislation.
