About ISO 14001:2015

ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that organizations can follow with a plan-do-check-act (PDCA) approach to continuous improvement.

ISO 14001:2015 should be used by any organization that wishes to set up, improve, or maintain an environmental management system to conform with its established environmental policy and requirements. The requirements of the standard can be incorporated into any environmental management system, the extent to which is determined by several factors including the organization’s industry, environmental policy, products and service offerings, and location.

ISO 14001:2015 is relevant to all organizations, regardless of size, location, sector, or industry.

At the top level, ISO 14001:2015 covers the following topics with regard to environmental management systems:

• Context of the organization
• Leadership
• Planning
• Support
• Operation
• Performance evaluation
• Improvement

ISO 14001 helps organisations of all sizes across all sectors make their daily operations more sustainable which can ultimately save money, improve brand reputation, engage employees and the ability to rapidly adapt to change.
