About the standard
ISO 14001 is a globally recognized standard specifying requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an environmental management system (EMS). Following the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, it gives organizations a structured framework to address environmental obligations — pollution, resource consumption, waste, and energy use — and to demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance.
