ISO 14001 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

ISO 14001 is a standard established to minimize environmental harm. It is not a product standard; it focuses not on what is produced, but on how it is produced. It is a voluntary management system applicable to all sectors and organizations regardless of size.

The Environmental Management System established by organizations to ensure a cleaner and more livable environment for future generations is based on defining, implementing, and maintaining an environmental policy. It is a management system designed to regulate environmental processes, procedures, responsibilities, resources, planning activities, and organizational structure.
An effective Environmental Management System not only reduces environmental liabilities and waste, but also increases operational efficiency, lowers costs, and has a significant positive impact on corporate image.
