Overview of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS)
ISO 14001 is a management system standard published by International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
An EMS is defined by ISO as:
''part of the overall management system, that includes organizational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes, and resources for developing, implementing, achieving, and maintaining the environmental policy.''  
Evolution of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System:
Year   Initiative
1960s - The Environmental movement began to gain its momentum.
1972 - First UN conference on the human environment in Stockholm in 1972.
1992 - The United Nations reached an agreement to protect the environment by reducing the negative impacts of business’ activities.
1992 - British Standards Institution (BSI) introduced BS 7750 marking the world’s first Environmental Management Systems standard as part of a response to growing concerns about protecting the environment.
1996 - ISO launched the first version of ISO 14001:2016 which is an international standard to enable organisations to develop policies and objectives. If focussed mainly on pollution control and managing negative impacts on the environment.
BS 7750 supplied the template for the development of the ISO 14000 series in 1996.
2004 - ISO 14001:1996 was withdrawn and replaced by ISO 14001:2004.
The 2004 version standard was strengthened to account for broader compliance requirements and focus the organization on the aspects they can control and influence.
2015 - ISO 14001:2015 which is a more harmonized approach with other ISO management systems that seek positive environmental outcomes was released to replace ISO 14001:2004.
ISO 14001:2015 standard works on the risk-based approach and allows priority to be given to risks and opportunities relevant to the organization. It enables organizations to manage their resources for a positive outcome.
2021 - This standard was last reviewed and confirmed in 2021. Therefore this version of ISO 14001:2015 remains current.
     
Who Should Use ISO 14001?
  1. Organizations of all types and sizes and natures can implement ISO 14001 EMS.
    It does not matter what size your organization is:
    • Any organisation with as few as 2 persons to as large as million persons can benefit from ISO 14001 EMS.
    It does not matter what industry you are in:
    • Any organisation in service or manufacturing, profit or non-profit organisation, private or public or government can implement ISO 14001 EMS.
     
  2. Any organizations whose investors are demanding for environmental protection actions to tackle climate change and facing adverse action if they failed to meet environmental obligations to deal with the climate crisis. Proof of social responsibility becomes critical for businesses as it is a key factor in corporate decision-making.
  3. Any organization that wants to inspire consumers and stakeholders and to add credibility and confidence in its ability to plan and mitigate environmental issues in its whole supply chain and operations to demonstrate that its product and service meet the environmental protection expectations.
  4. Any kind of organization for which ISO 14001 implementation may be a legal or contractual requirement.
  5. Any organisation that wants to reduce waste, improve resource efficiency and cut the cost of waste management and reduce their environmental impact.
  6. Any organization that wants to establish, implement, operate, and maintain an environmental management system (EMS).
  7. Any organization that wants to monitor, review and improve EMS.
  8. Any organization that needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide services that meet client needs.
  9. Any organization needs to assess its conformity with its stated environmental management policy.
Why Should You Use ISO 14001?
  1. It demonstrates to your customers, suppliers and external stakeholders that you are committed to being an environmentally sustainable organisation, which can inspire both increased sales, as well as overcoming regulatory barriers to entry for certain projects/businesses.
  2. Regulators and customers alike are increasingly demanding environmental impacts be taken into account by the organisation they are purchasing from or working with. In the absence of an environmental management system, you risk losing customers to competitors that see the value in showing their customers they have an internationally-recognised framework of the environmental management system.
  3. You may face the risks and lost opportunities involved with not having an ISO 14001 environmental management system and risk being known as the organisation that doesn’t take environmental concerns onboard as you operate.
  4. You will potentially be eligible for more lucrative, large scale both government and private sector contracts that are only offered to organisations that can provide proof of their commitment to reducing environmental impacts in their operations.
