Environmental management - ISO 14001

Responsibility for the environment – sustainability as a competitive advantage

The ISO 14001 standard defines the requirements for an environmental management system with which a company can improve its environmental performance. It can also fulfill legal obligations and achieve sustainability goals.

The elements of ISO 14001 are

  • Planning: Definition of environmental objectives and associated measures
  • Implementation: Implementation of the defined measures
  • Control: Review of the procedures and measures with regard to the company’s environmental objectives and environmental policy
  • Improvement: Adaptation and further development of the procedures and measures as well as the environmental objectives and environmental policy

ISO 14001 is applicable to companies of all types and sizes. The standard does not specify absolute requirements for environmental performance. The requirements of the standard can therefore also be met by two similar companies if both achieve different environmental performances.
