ISO 14001:2015 is an international standard that specifies requirements for an environmental management system (EMS). This standard provides a systematic framework for organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their environmental performance. ISO 14001:2015 focuses on helping organizations identify and manage their environmental impacts, comply with applicable legal requirements, and adopt a proactive approach to environmental sustainability. It emphasizes a commitment to pollution prevention, resource efficiency, and the reduction of adverse environmental effects, making it a valuable tool for businesses and other entities seeking to integrate environmental responsibility into their overall management processes. The standard is applicable to organizations of all sizes and industries, offering a flexible and adaptable approach to environmental management.

ISO 14001:2015 is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, encouraging a systematic approach to environmental management. The standard promotes a high level of commitment from top management, engagement with stakeholders, and a focus on continual improvement. Organizations that achieve ISO 14001 certification demonstrate their dedication to environmental sustainability and responsible business practices, which can enhance their reputation, meet regulatory requirements, and contribute to long-term environmental stewardship.
