ISO14001
Environmental
Management

ISO 14001 provides requirements for environmental management systems (EMS). The intent of a formal environmental management system is to minimize your company’s negative impact on the environment and accentuate the positive environmental impact through EMS controls and continual improvement. While many companies pursue ISO 14001:2015 certification as a stand-alone certification to demonstrate a more eco-friendly approach to business.

​

Some companies don't need to be "certified" to the standard but just demonstrate "compliance." JSH Quality Consulting offers consulting assistance to get you to ISO 14001 compliance or certification. You can market your commitment to proactively caring for the environmental as a point of differentiation for your business.

​

The purpose of the ISO 14001:2015 standard is to help companies in any industry protect the environment, prevent pollution and improve their environmental performance. he approach to continual improvement is similar to other standards such as ISO 9001, but its focus is on environmental aspects and impacts of the business.

​

There are six key focus areas in the ISO 14001:2015 standard:

• Environmental Policy

• Implementation and Operation

• Environmental Aspects and Significant Aspects

• Checking and Corrective Action

• Management Review

• Continual Improvement

Implementation of a formal environmental management system can enhance a company’s bottom line with better efficiency and demonstration of a more economically-friendly business approach to new and existing customers. In some industries, ISO 14001 is a qualification requirement for certain RFQs and other business opportunities.
