ISO 14001 overview
There are numerous benefits of implementing ISO 14001. These include:
- Providing a framework for a systematic and integrated approach for environmental management which allows the EMS to become part of the fabric of the organization's business.
- Making the EMS "system" dependent and not "person" dependent.
- Promoting sound environmental management which becomes a means of doing business and not an end in and of itself.
- Positioning the organization as an environmental leader and providing a framework by which to respond to environmental inquiries from customers, stockholders and other interested parties.
