ISO 14001 basically establishes a co-ordinated and formal framework of
controls with which to manage environmental protection. It is an
internationally accepted standard for an Environmental Management System.
The standard specifies the requirements for establishing an environmental policy,
determining environmental aspects and impacts of products, activities and
services. It requires that environmental objectives and measurable targets
are planned and that defined programs are implemented to meet the objectives
and targets.

Because ISO 14001 does not specify
any level of environmental performance, these programmes are used to
manage the achievement of the set objectives. Objectives are
normally driven by applicable environmental legislation and regulations,
depending on the organization's current level of compliance. The system is
also utilized as
the framework to maintain compliance on an ongoing basis and to drive continual improvement. |
