What is 14001:2015?
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective Environmental Management System (EMS).
Unlike other Standards, this provides the framework for an organization to follow rather than specifying requirements that need to be adhered to. It is hence a voluntary standard and is usually integrated with other QMS initiatives to accomplish business goals.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines an environmental management system as “a part of the management system used to manage environmental aspects, fulfill compliance obligations, and address risks and opportunities.”
