Why environmental management with ISO 14001?
More than 300,000 organizations around the world are ISO 14001 certified. ISO 14001 is therefore the standard for improving environmental performance and demonstrating the quality of the environmental management system internationally. The Dutch certificates can be found on our website; the number of certificates worldwide is researched annually in the ISO survey.
Benefits of ISO 14001
- Systematic work on better environmental performance and compliance with laws and regulations
- Clear insight into both the risks and the opportunities in the environmental field
- Fulfilling the “environmental pillar” within sustainable business (ISO 26001)
- Internationally recognizable basis for certification
And ultimately:
- A better position in the market
- Less risk of financial or reputational damage
- Higher employee satisfaction
- A better relationship with the surrounding community (including the government)
With an ISO 14001 certificate, an organization demonstrates that all requirements of the standard are being met; the certificate is therefore a valuable communication tool. Customers, regulators, and local residents are interested in an organization’s environmental performance, and thus in the certificate.
