What Is ISO 14001:2015?
ISO 14001 ensures your organisation prioritises its environmental impact across its operations, management and supply chain. Over 312,500 ISO 14001 certificates have been issued to 487,950 sites across the world, making it a highly sought-after ISO standard.
Developed by the International Organization for Standardization, ISO 14001:2015 helps businesses put in place systems to control waste management, tackle pollution and effect climate change mitigation and adaptation. It requires the implementation of an effective EMS to achieve ISO 14001 certification.
