ISO 14001 – Environment Management

ISO 14001 is a worldwide standard for environmental management systems. The standard defines the environmental management system requirements to which an organization subscribes. The organization develops the program to meet its policy, objectives, and regulatory requirements and works towards continual improvement.

ISO 14001 is not a technical standard and as such does not in any way replace technical requirements embodied in statutes or regulations. It also does not set prescribed standards of performance for organizations.
The EMS requirement is designed to point out the delicate balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact; with the commitment of your entire organization, it can enable you to achieve both objectives. 

This international standard is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability. It enables an organization to use a common approach and risk-based thinking to integrate its environmental management system with the requirements of other management systems. This standard ensures that the environmental aspects of an organization's activities, products and services that it determines, can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. 

TUV NORD Taiwan has the team of experienced auditors with the background, competence to audit the standard and assess the compliance as well add value to the certification.

The ISO 14001 certification can be integrated with other systems like the ISO 9001 and the ISO 45001 certifications.
