ISO 14001 Environmental Management

ISO 14001 – the Standard

Developed and published by ISO (the International Standards Organisation) ISO 14001 specifies requirements for organisations who wish to achieve and demonstrate sound environmental performance by controlling the impact of their activities, products or services on the environment.
