What Is BS14001 (Enviromental)?
ISO 14000 is a SERIES of international standards on environmental management. It provides a framework for the development of both the system and the supporting audit program.
Environmental policies are good for business. Properly practised and clearly communicated they improve customer and public relations. But concern for the environment commands much more than goodwill. It delivers important cost savings. Better uses of energy, careful selection of raw materials and controlled recycling of waste products all contribute to the bottom line, securing vital competitive advantage.
Proof of a responsible approach is fast becoming a key purchasing criteria. Environmentally aware organisations prefer to do business with like minded companies, those who demonstrate their commitment through the internationally recognised ISO 14001 standard. With new legislation focusing on creating a cleaner world, this trend is set to continue. The principles of simplicity and the application of ordinary common sense are particularly pertinent to ISO 14001 and documented procedures are only required where their absence could lead to deviations from the environmental policy and the objectives and targets. Similarly the extent of documentation and the resources dependant on it will relate to the size of the organisations and the nature of its activities.
