ISO 14001 is an environmental management system (EMS) that allows and organization to manage the environmental impact of its actions during product creation or service delivery. Furthermore, the ISO 14001 EMS allows for the continual improvement of an organization's environmental impact.
The ISO 14001 EMS is a tool that can provide both internal and external assurance that an organization is in control of the effects that its processes have on the environment. Due to today's general environmental awareness, assurance may need to be provided to:
· Customers
· Shareholders and partners
· Government and local authorities
· Regulatory bodies
Obviously implementing an ISO 14001 EMS is not only there for pleasing others. Its implementation also results in measurable business benefits:
· Waste management cost reduction
· Reduced consumption of disposables
· Improved image to clients, shareholders, partners and authorities
· Reduced consumption or energy and resources
