ISO 14001 - Environmental Management Systems - deals with various aspects of environmental management. It provides a practical toolkit for companies and organizations seeking to identify and control their environmental impact and continually improve their environmental performance.
ISO 14001 sets the criteria for an environmental management system. It does not establish requirements for environmental performance, but outlines a framework that a company or organization can follow to establish an effective environmental management system. It can be used in any organization, regardless of the type of activity or industry. The use of ISO 14001 ensures that management and employees of the company, as well as external stakeholders, are constantly measuring and improving their environmental impact.
Benefits from using the international standard ISO 14001 - Environmental Management Systems:

Top management can effectively address risks and opportunities by integrating environmental management into the organization's business processes, strategy and decision-making processes, aligning them with other business priorities, and by integrating environmental governance into the overall management system.
