The ISO 14001:2015 Standard
The ISO 14001:2015 Standard offers a framework to assist your organisation throughout the development process of an effective EMS that is tailored to the specific needs of your organisation.
An EMS puts the focus on utilising an Environmental Lifecycle Approach, where every process and activity within your organisation is managed through an identification process of environmental aspects and impacts and aligned to a corresponding risk methodology.
The risk assessment process allows your organisation to measure the efficiency of inherent risk, referring to current controls, and determine whether current controls are sufficient. If the risk assessment shows that the inherent risk is insufficient, your organisation can implement risk treatment plans to align current controls with legal and strategic requirements.
Additionally, your EMS allows your organisation to consider a plethora of policies, processes, procedures, and work instructions to reduce any environmental risk throughout all your business processes and implement more effective methods of waste management, environmental awareness, and working towards a more sustainable future for your organisation.
Why Should My Organisation Consider an ISO 14001:2015 EMS?
If your organisation is manufacturing products, generate energy or puts out dangerous emissions, you should always be aware of their direct and indirect impact on the environment. Small steps, such as recycling, can go a long way in the global effort to reduce pollution and the negative environmental impact that organisations have on their surroundings.
By developing and implementing an EMS that is aligned with the ISO 14001:2015 Standard, your organisation will have the necessary controls to properly manage elements throughout business processes that could cause pollution or negatively impact your direct environment.
