The ISO 14000 family of standards offers practical tools for companies and organizations seeking to effectively manage their environmental responsibilities. At the heart of this family is ISO 14001, the internationally recognized ISO 14001:2015 standard that defines the requirements for an Environmental Management System (EMS). This standard provides a structured framework for businesses to reduce their environmental impact, improve compliance with regulatory requirements, and enhance overall sustainability.
