ISO 14001.png

ISO 14000 is the collective name for the standards that deal with environmental management. These standards in turn create an environmental management system that can be easily integrated into existing operations. The environmental management system then constitutes a voluntary tool that is to facilitate the work and the standards provide a working model for continuous improvement. Requirements that are set, among other things, are that  the organization has a quality management system that meets the requirements of the standard to be applied and that the system is a natural part of the organization's daily activities. Also ongoing maintenance of the system and description and that the business is audited against the requirements of ISO 14001: 2004 by an accredited certification body.
 

Some effects of working with environmental management according to ISO 14001:

​

  • The business processes become more sustainable

  • Streamlines environmental work

  • Reduces the use of resources and materials

  • Reduces the organization's waste and thus reduces costs

  • Improves the possibility of winning procurements

  • Strengthens the brand and increased credibility for the organization's environmental work
