What is ISO 14001:2015 

ISO 14001:2015 is the latest revision of the standard. The ISO 14001:2015 standard incorporates Annex SL which has been created to provide a universal high-level structure, identical core text, and common terms and definitions for all management system standards.

It was designed to make it easier for organizations that have to comply with more than one management system standard. 

As part of our management systems certification services, we also provide auditing, technical publications and training.

The process of achieving Management systems certification is typically made up of 5 stages, see our infographic below to learn more.

The environmental movement: a background to environmental management standards

A balance between the environment, society and the economy must be achieved to meet the sustainable development targets of any given population. The future should also be factored into any discussion regarding how this balance is reached because what we do today will affect future generations. Environmental management standards such as ISO 14001 provide a framework that can be used to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions, while also meeting socio-economic needs.
