What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). This standard provides a framework for organizations to manage their environmental issues. It measures the conformance of an organization's EMS to the standard requirements.

With growing awareness for industries' impacts on the environment, conformance with this global environmental standard (ISO 14001) becomes important to all organizations worldwide. ISO 14001 certification allows companies to demonstrate their environmental commitment to customers and the public in general.

Benefits of having an ISO 14001 certified environmental management system are significant. With effective EMS, overall performance of your business would improve as resource use, waste, and risk of accidents reduce. Commitment to quality and taking environmental responsibility would improve your company's image and hence, achieving higher confidence level from existing and potential customers.

At Strategies for the Environment Inc, we are here to help your organization in preparing and implementing pollution prevention plans as well as integrating them into your existing environmental management systems. We concentrate on the pollution prevention planning which is more effective than pollution treatment after a pollution problem occurs. Emphasis is placed on reduction at the source of the pollution, such as reducing the amount of industrial, hazardous, and toxic wastes by planning and implementing changes in the waste production process. We conduct site investigation and develop solutions best suited for your company.
