The concept of an environmental management system can be traced back to 1972, when the United Nations organized a Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) was launched. These early initiatives led to the establishment of the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) and the adoption of the Montreal Protocol and Basel Convention. In 1992, the first Earth Summit was held in Rio-de-Janeiro, which served to generate a global commitment to the environment.
ISO 14001 Highlights
- Unlike previous environmental regulations, ISO 14000 is based on a voluntary approach to environmental regulation.
- Effective implementation of ISO 14001 helps to identify and mitigate environmental risks and there by avoid potential violations of regulatory requirements.
- As with ISO 9000, ISO 14000 acts both as an internal management tool and as a way of demonstrating a company’s environmental commitment.
- ISO 14001 can be applied to a variety of levels in the business, from organizational level, right down to the product and service level.
- Success of the system depends on commitment from all levels of the organization, especially top management.
- ISO 14001 can be easily integrated with the existing management systems such as ISO 9001, TS 16949, OHSAS 18001 etc.
