ISO
14000
The
Competitive Advantage of Environmental Management Systems
Yes,
you are probably already compliant with local, state and federal environmental
regulations. ISO 14000 is not
another certification of that fact. ISO
14000 best practices create a systematic approach to managing your efforts to
make compliance easier, reduce costs of compliance, eliminate waste, make
environmental concerns transparent with the way you do business, and manage all
environmental efforts more effectively.
The
ISO 14000 methodology for environmental management is a competitive approach.
It provides the necessary requirements and recommendations for any
organization to develop and implement a cost-effective system of managing your
environmental affairs. ISO 14000 is
an internationally recognized standard with best practices for creating an
environmental management system.
Not
to be confused with ISO 9000, a quality management system, ISO 14000 is closely
tied to ISO 9000 for seamless integration, creating one management system for
quality and environmental concerns. Once
implemented, your ISO 14000 EMS will be audited annually be a 3rd-party
internationally-recognized registrar. This
ensures that your EMS is meeting international best practices and your company
will be registered around the world.
An
ISO 14000 environmental management system (EMS) will create a structural
environment for managing all of those loose ends and will blend them into your
daily routine. Procedures, lists,
logs, regulations, response plans, audits, training… bring it all together
into one manageable system.
