In today’s business climate, it is imperative that organizations consider the impact their operations have on the environment, and the impact their environmental actions have on operations.

For many businesses, environmental management starts with standards compliance, from aspect to impact specifically complying with ISO 14001, an international standard that sets out the criteria for an environmental management system (EMS).

Based on the ISO 14001 principals the EMS maps out a framework that an organization can follow to develop an effective environmental management system and set meaningful targets and performance measures.
