Audit of your Environmental Management System against the requirements from ISO 14001:2015 to have a third party opinion and certification.
Aim of an environmental management system
The purpose of ISO 14001:2015 is to provide organizations with a framework to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions in balance with socio-economic needs. It specifies requirements that enable an organization to achieve the intended outcomes it sets for its environmental management system.
A systematic approach to environmental management can provide top management with information to build success over the long term and create options for contributing to sustainable development by:
- protecting the environment by preventing or mitigating adverse environmental impacts
- mitigating the potential adverse effect of environmental conditions on the organization
- assisting the organization in the fulfilment of compliance obligations
- enhancing environmental performance
- controlling or influencing the way the organization's products and services are designed manufactured, distributed, consumed and disposed by using a life cycle perspective that can prevent environmental impacts from being unintentionally shifted elsewhere within the life cycle
- achieving financial and operational benefits that can result from implementing environmentally sound alternatives that strengthen the organization's market position
- communicating environmental information to relevant interested parties
