What is ISO 14001 Environmental Management?
ISO 14001 is an international standard framework for environmental management systems. Compliance has numerous advantages and benefits, with many claiming it helps them achieve a competitive advantage in certain markets and sectors.
This framework is not industry-specific and can be applied to any organisation, regardless of size, type, or nature. The certification is not mandatory but can provide valuable assurance to stakeholders, customers, and regulators. You demonstrate that your organisation is fully committed to managing its environmental responsibilities legally and morally appropriately.
What is included in ISO 14001?
Environmental Policy
An environmental policy is a public statement from the organisation clearly outlining its commitments to environmental performance, setting the tone for its approach to present environmental concerns and providing guidance for any that arise in the future.
Planning
This helps provide clarity and action regarding activities that have the potential to impact the environment negatively—for example, waste management solutions or water usage. With a comprehensive plan, organisations can prioritise and address environmental concerns in a legally compliant and morally responsible manner.
Implementation & Operation
This section is all about the practical steps to implement the framework itself. After all, without proper implementation, the EMS is just a thought experiment – to achieve ISO 14001 compliance, your plan must be implemented. This includes resource allocation, training employees, and emergency redundancy plans.
EMS Monitoring
To achieve and maintain compliance, businesses and organisations must consistently monitor the performance of their EMS. This ensures that the commitments enshrined in the environmental policy are continuously adhered to and that any discrepancies can be swiftly identified and rectified.
Management Review
Organisations change and evolve, and external environmental factors can shift. As such, regular management reviews provide opportunities for changes to the EMS, policy, or even objectives and targets. By regularly reviewing the EMS, top management ensures it remains effective and relevant in the face of these changes.
In short, ISO 14001 provides organisations with a framework to help them minimise their environmental footprint, reduce the risk of contamination issues, and sustainably develop their business. In an increasingly more environmentally conscious world, it’s increasingly important that companies operate in an eco-friendly and responsible manner.
FAQ
How long does it take to get certified?
To become certified, businesses and organisations must be audited by an accredited certification body. Whilst it varies greatly from company to company, largely depending on your unique circumstances, most companies and organisations can expect the certification process to take several months, depending on the magnitude of changes required to comply with the standard.
What is the ISO?
ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) is an independent, non-governmental international organisation with a membership of 169 national standards bodies. One of the advantages of ISO accreditation is that many ISO standards easily integrate with other ISO accreditations, allowing organisations to display their strengths in an easy-to-comprehend manner.
