What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is an international management standard for the environment and has been implemented by organisations globally since 1996.

It provides a structured process for making environmental improvements, the rate and extent of which will be determined by the organisation in light of business needs and circumstances.

The key outcomes will be:

• Reduction of our negative environmental impacts
• Enhancement of our positive environmental impacts
• Best use of resources
• Reduction of pollution to a minimum
• Compliance with relevant legislation.
