ISO 14001:2015 - Environmental Management Systems

Rapid technological advancements have not only affected the economic and social development, but also the environment through the exhaustion of common assets. Rapid industrialization and economic growth, increase in population, and technological innovations have led to environmental degradation. Some of the major impacts that environmental changes have caused include human health related issues, climate change, ozone depletion, changes in ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, depletion of natural resources and land degradation. In this White paper, PECB will discuss the key clauses of ISO 14001:2015, the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS), the link between ISO 14001:2015 and other standards like those in the ISO 14000 family, integration with other management systems, the business benefits of environmental management, and more.
